News Feeds any use?

[Grandturk]

Me too, that's why I gave you a direct link to see. Apart from that, do you never see posts like this?:

Nope. Nada.

I never see a news feed either and don't know how to access it. Maybe there's a setting I've got turned off?

This is unsettling, Joe - aren't you supposed to be in charge!

i see them.. i may look at them on occasion usually they are of little interest.

I can't remember the last time I saw a News Feed thread of any interest whatsoever. Get rid of them. And get rid of those stupid adverts down the right hand side too. Please. If you don't, I'll get BillZBub to send a curse so bad, you'll have the shits for eternity. Even in death, you'll still poop!

You guys that don't see them - are you using the top menu buttons "What's New" or "New Posts" and still don't see them?

The News Feed is implemented to generate hits from search engines like Google, and subsequently generate income to the owners of the board by having visitors clicking the ads here. It's about money. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't see anything wrong with that, it's just annoying. I am no saint myself. I use Adsense to generate a little income too and at the same time ruin a good layout and readability of a site. The things you do for money...

Kinda sorta, but not really.

If it's helping pay for the site bandwidth I'm more than willing to put up with it... I click one occasionally but it's pretty rare because I don't come here to get news, I come here for the group hugs.
