Forums support RSS?

This is probably the wrong place to post this, but here's my beef:
I've been back at work for a few days (since the weekend) and the tidal wave of posts is really hard to keep up with. Any chance we can get these forums RSS enabled so I can point my news reader at it? It would be really helpful to see "just what's new."
Maybe when you install the Wiki, we could get both the forums and the wiki RSS enables (hint hint) :-)
Sorry to be such a pest!

You ought to search through some of Jeff Tunnell and Pat Wilson's previous .plans... seems they are trying to move the site entirely to RSS

That's how I keep track of all these posts and I manage to reply to all the new ones, including this one. ;)

@Jason: Don't you use the "Mark All as Read" and the "Unread Posts"?That's how I keep track of all these posts and I manage to reply to all the new ones, including this one. ;)

For example, I checked messages about 4 hours ago, went through almost 100 threads, and commented on about 3 of them. I came home for lunch an hour and a half ago, and I am still catching up on all of the messages posted since then. That includes about 3 cycles of "mark all posts read"/"Unread Posts", and they are still flowing!
Side Note: I've been following GG posts in just about all forums for 3 months now. In the last month and a half, the sheer volume of posts seems to have at least tripled!

@Melv: I use that as well, but it still has a bit of overhead in "scroll down to the last couple of comments, figure out what you've read and what you haven't" type of thing that can make staying current really time consuming.For example, I checked messages about 4 hours ago, went through almost 100 threads, and commented on about 3 of them.

Lol I hear you Stephen, from work I try to follow all the boards ... or about 80% of them, since I cannot develop my game here, the posts in this forum are amazing though, they come too quickly lol

*looks left and right in-case boss is watching*
I got into work this morning and I thought I'd address all the issues I can whilst I'm drinking my morning coffee; shouldn't take too long yeah? I'm not going to post how long I spent helping out.
An overhaul on the GG site is definately on its way. All good things come to those who wait, even those who don't I guess. :)

Heck... I came in and read this thread... and went back and it was near the bottom of the page... I can't even keep up with the threads as they are coming in, let alone 6 hours from now. :)
