RSS feeds
Seriously? Does anyone besides me think it just makes this forum harder to read? You can't be everything to everyone....

i totally agree, when I click on new posts, I want to see what members post, not what the feeds are doing.. it definitely makes the forum harder to read.
It sounds to me like if you want more posts to read, maybe you mods should concentrate a little more on club development and participation, rather than drowning the current members with BORING feeds...
dont hate, thats my .02

For me personally, I come to this site to read what the local Mazda community is up to. I don't want to have to sort through all that stuff to accomplish why I come to this site. Most of the stuff that's in the feeds is interesting, but I know where to get that information if I want to see it. I know about autoblog.com, engadget.com and the ton of other sites to get that info. But I think I'm not the only one who used the "New Posts" button, and I don't want to see 5 pages of RSS feeds to see new posts.
One option is to see if vBulletin gives you the option of excluding the RSS feeds from showing up anywhere except the section they're in, not the new posts, not the recent threads. That way if someone wants to read them, they're there. But if they don't want to read them, they're not shoved down their throats.

Is there a way to have the RSS feeds post from a different username? Like "newsbot" or something. Otherwise Josh, all the posts with your name on them make you look like a post whoring asshole. And then it will be easier to filter out what's a relavant post from a member and what's an autoblog post.

I refrained from posting about the RSS feeds. During the week, autoblog updates rather frequently, thus there will probably 30-40 posts/day from autoblog. I think most people that visit this forum also visit sites like autoblog, where they get other info from. I post links I think are interesting from autoblog all of the time.
I think if the RSS feeds could be magically culled to only post Mazda related info, that would cut down on a lot of the extraneous posts. I don't think that's possible though. I did a quick search, and there is a way to exclude that forum from being displayed in new posts. That's one option.
The other is to just discontinue the feeds. I haven't really noticed many other forums that have RSS feed forums.
