I've asked for this in the past, and I'm just bringing it up again. RSS syndication is slowly becoming en vogue, and I'd love to see the ttlg.com forums, thief-thecircle.com, and other ttlg network sites get syndicated in RSS feeds. I'm sure that the resident webmasters have heard of this technology by now, but I'd like to urge them to consider it as a useful thing for the ttlg'er on the run.

Maybe one feed to encompass all of the network sites would be good, but I think a feed for each is a bit much, since none of them are very active with the exception of maybe the thief site.

Agreed. One ttlg newsfeed would be fine, and perhaps one for each of the forums.
I'm currently using Feedreader alpha, and Serence Klipfolio, two different items with different ideas. Klipfolio is particularly attractive, since it is able to parse its own proprietary 'klips' which appear to be XML-based, as well as a seemingly unlimited number of RSS feeds. Pretty spiffy! (
www.klipfolio.com.)
So even if we don't get around to syndicating all things TTLG, the heart of which is the forum, it's nice to know that it should be relatively easy to at least provide news headlines with Klipfolio (or even RSS).
