  • RSS Feed

    So, I asked this question last year, and it was unavailable, so figured I'd try again.

    Any chance we could get the front page daily articles set up on an RSS feed, so they could be read in RSS feed reader? I don't' imagine this would be all that difficult, and you can still keep track of stats based on number of subscribers to the threads. It would nice to be able to subscribe to a feed from a forum thread as well.

    Just getting in my requests early. . .

    Thanks!

        It's still on our to-do list. We really do appreciate the benefit. Couple of things standing in the way:

        - the FSV acquisition is a factor in this, as they have some ideas for redesigning the site that may make RSS easier to accomplish. So we're a little reluctant to invest tech resources in doing the RSS when we might wait and just get it as a "free benefit" of another piece of work.
        - when it comes time to doling out our tech resources to various projects and initiatives, inevitably when the choice comes down to giving you guys a completely new feature vs. making a current one more convenient, we're usually going to opt for the new feature. Not to say that it's always an either/or (and I know you'd like to have both), but if you had to choose between, say, getting MACK 2.0 last summer, vs getting a bunch of new categories added to the Custom Draft Guide tool, vs. doing the RSS feeds... well, the RSS feeds are going to lose that face-off pretty consistently.

        Anyway, long way around of saying "we know you want it, and we want to give it to you. But I don't know exactly when you'll get it."

          I "third" this idea. It's definitely something I would like to see.

            Ray,
            What is the FSV acquistion. Is someone buying the BaseballHQ site?

              Somebody already did.

                FSV acquisition

                How will this affect the site? How long ago did the acquisition take place?

                  Almost a year ago. The site certainly hasn't changed much since then. Ron is still under contract, the editors are still around, the forums haven't changed. I think you'll find that things will remain as they are or maybe even add new features to the old ones.

                    They've really lowered the standards and started hiring guys like Nick to be moderators!

                        Admittedly I'm a newbie to the whole power of RSS feeds, but I've found them really useful by adding them to my Firefox toolbar. I think click on it and it drops down all the posts from another message board I frequent. Pretty cool functionality. Same for Facebook Status.

                        I'd LOVE to have same functionality for HQ Forums.
