    Just checked the New Posts and there are two pages of news links on various forums posted by Q (board.ie Bot)

    1. Is this supposed to be happening, or is it someone spamming?
    2. Will it be a regular thing?

    Ok, in theory the news feeds are a good idea, but could they be changed to sticky posts that have replies entered into them if they are not done as such already? Otherwise, user threads stand a good chance of being drowned if it continues like it did in the Film News forum...

    EDIT: Ah, Cloud got in there before me. Ok, I was afraid that it was going to be a daily thing...

    Can Q's news selections to the LGB Forum be modified ? The first link is to a gay personals site. Not really news like.

    Plus, through the tireless efforts of some
    MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
    a lot of these stories have already been posted and discussed.

    Unfortunately the first link from moreover feeds seems to be an advert - but this can be edited.

    BTW, thanks for the dedication damien :)

    Someone's on her period Ms. CuLT. But yeah, the news thread things are a good idea but only if they're updated more often.

    might the mods of the various 'fora' be in a better place to point Q in the direction of sites to use. Tis a fairly simple little program to parse n prune from the appropriate site/s. The Mods could add remove sites as they became/lost relevance

    Does Q not take an interest in philosophy or have they already found all possible answers to all possible questions in the continuum?

    There haven't been any big headlines in Philosophy for about 2000 years :P
