We could very easily implement a "hack" that would allow members, on an individual basis, to opt-out of posts and search features for certain forums.
We may also think about turning down the posting frequency and doing like Lurker said; finding some interesting RSS feeds.
Also, this feature allows us to add keyword masks to fine-tune exactly what we want, or don't want. I have these turned off right now, so it is just grabbing everything associated with what it thinks is Dodge City news. We can also set it to mask out everything from Dodge City Daily Globe or other sites that require registration.
We also have the ability to port out our own RSS feed- which can be ported to a blog, messenger or website, although I cannot really see a benefit for that.
For now, our members have spoken, so I am turning off the RSS Bot. I may play with it a bit more at a later date.
Thanks for your candid input. We appreciate it.
