im not sure if this has been already made or if the built vb rss is capable of doing this.
basically what i want this hack to do is:

1. Garbing rss from externel source and then making into threads in a specific forum section
2. then taking those threads in the that certian forums, not only the ones that been added by the rss, even ones that have been made by users in that forum and generating every thread first post in a new rss

its kinda of weird i know, but the purpose of this is for my gaming community i want basically want to grab online gaming news from big sites that have rss and then generate them into my own rss and even add my own news to it.

Thank you in advanced,

Its already built into 3.6.8, though the RSS that you grab is more then likely going to contain a link back to their site, which when your RSS generates, it will contain that.

Enable your RSS, in AdminCP -> External Data Handling

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