  • News Feeds

    Does anyone read the new feed articles? I think they're distracting. Could it be set so they don't come up in the RSS feed or the new posts search?

    They're slightly annoying in their current state. I think there should be a dedicated spot on the front page for them as opposed to being mixed in with the new post part. Maybe look into different sources too because I've been seeing a lot of really non-music related stuff and "music" news like Guitar Hero and stuff and I even saw a Disney article. Or just make a news feed section in the forum and make it so we can discuss the articles instead of having them locked up.

        At least allow them to be ignored would be my vote.
        "Hate them"
        Never of interest.
        Perhaps we just need better ones?
        Like, "look who's boobies we caught on camera" type general interest stuff.

                  Once the poll's finished, I'll PM the results to Jeremy along with any suggestions, in case he doesn't see the thread.

                    It's the latest in manipulative media! Ever see those ducks and geese getting fed with a tube to make them swallow crap more easily and get fat? Exactly...

                        I like the news feeds, but Ben's idea sounds kind of cool. And I also support boobies!!!

                          Seldom do I actually read any of the news items. I tend to use the new posts link exclusively for viewing content and the feeds are mostly just noise in my scan of stuff I'm interested in.

                              Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
