Hey everyone well for the longest time I had not realized that their was a RSS feed manager in vBulletin and I did not know what it did. So now I realized that you can add feed urls and have them posted into a specific forum of your choice, too cool!

So anyways on my site about "bodybuilding and fitness" I have created a forum called "RSS Feeds", and have found around 7 rss feeds and put them in the RSS manager to display in the RSS Feeds forum, now the post count, and thread count has gone up so much so fast, now I am wondering is this okay towards users, guests, search engines, meaning is it going to be a bad thing to do or not?

The RSS feeds are from topics of my forum topic, so I was thinking users could go in their to see articles from other sites, etc....

Thanks

, p.s. do you guys use this feature as well?

i do use it on www.tampagamers.com right now.. but i am moving away from it. I'm changing my Digg RSS proxy to just be a Digg API Proxy and putting together a vBAdvanced page that displays the latest stories from digg and let users click a "Discuss" button to create a thread in the correct forum. If that story has a thread already it will just take them to that place.

I think the RSS Feed feature has some awesome uses though, such as keeping up with patches for a game or releases of software or something like that.

I use the 'About Today' RSS system for news, etc., but I don't have it creating threads...that'd be too much clutter for my board, imo.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
