Experimenting.....

We're experimenting with RSS feeds to funnel useful fishing news to the forum where it is visible.

The way this works is whenever an item is posted to Alaska Fishing News it will be automatically posted to the forum within 12 hours.

If it is interesting, members will comment on it, and it will stay near the top. If it is not interesting, it will quickly fade away given the volume of posts on this forum.

I don't monitor these threads, so don't expect me to answer! We'll try this system for a while and then evaluate whether you find it useful.
