Looks like I decided to newly paticipate here after being away at the wrong time what with so little human news, i.e.went to New Posts as usual and see 8 out of 10 of the new posts since last visit were news aggregator bots. That kind of heavy bot ratio also happened the past several other visits.

Getting real weary reading the same blogs so much such as Elliot's Blog, The Domains, DomainGang and a few others the bot promotes so heavily. I may be doing what bidawinner did.

Not my forum, but have to say those feeds might hurt user navigation experience.

have to agree... the feed aggregation completely sucks.

The news feeds are there provide everyone with something to read when there are no new posts and to help keep you up to date with domain news.

But I can see how it might be annoying to filter through them to find organic posts. They have been removed from the View Active Threads and View New Posts searches.

Please let us know if you have any other suggestions.

Cheers,
Andrew
