Maybe something like this exists, but I wasn't able to find anything.

I was curious if a hack exists that will take news from a site, and post it in a forum for members to discuss.

AKA on a tech site, they post news about the AMD price cuts, and the 'newsbot' posts a section of the news and a link to the source for them to read fully, and then they can reply to the 'newsbot's post to discuss.

I think, if it doesn't exist, it would be an interesting hack...

There are some modifications for 3.5.x that do this. Search for RSS and they should come up.

This is also a default feature in 3.6.x

Try articlebot. Link is in my sig. It is a paid modification but it is much more developed than the vB 3.6 Feed poster (at this time).

seriously, there are loads out there so just stick the topic you want them about and "RSS Feed" in your favorite search engine and take a look.

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