RSS preference
Its a system that periodically polls other sites, in this case the official forums, for specific posts and copies them here so people dont have to deal with that forums constant overloading. I have two ways of utilizing this, portal integrated and forum integrated. Portal integrated can be seen on the VS home page in the RSS feeds box on the bottom left hand side. Forum integrated can be seen in the Community Announcements section.
A better poll to have is which type of RSS do you prefer portal or forum?

Re: RSS preference
I prefer the Portal. For one it cuts down on forum spam. Its easier to see whats new on the home page. Outside links are fine. We can't put whole posts in the forums anyways. Its kinda tacky(Not quite plagiarism but close) I bite my tung allot when I see a post thats blatantly ripped from another site and does not give the source or credit. Partial posts and a link are fine tho if you decide to go that way.
And worrying about weather someone can view a post from work shouldn't be an issue. YOU SHOULD BE WORKING! heheh Sorry Feds. Rao

Re: RSS preference
Yeah we cant duplicate every article from every other site in whole.
