I was just thinking about that...how it'd be sort of neat, albeit unnecessary to have some sort of XML RSS feed to new Map Room topics. It'd be akin to the SPC RSS feed...just a thought. Could be a cool feature for ST.

ok what exactly is that? Ive seen that on those small orange and blue XML RSS tags on the SPC site. Is that like a mobile page of (what you suggest) ST? Like you can view ST threads "on the go"?

Your best bet would be googling "What is RSS", mainly because there's lots of info out there on it. I used to use Google Sidebar to get SPC RSS feeds, but I couldn't get it to clear expired messages. Does RSS have an "expiration" feature, so a message could be deleted after a particular time?

It depends on what RSS Reader you use. Some have a feature that will delete the headlines anywhere from 1 day to 6 months and you can even store them forever as well.
I use RssReader and it works quite well for me.
