Diversifying Bots & Forum Changes

[junker|154]

I am not entirely sure if it would suit this section but I would appreciate having some bots that focus on economics and other trading related events.

It seems that there are quite a few threads in the other news section that focus on such topics and people generally seem to enjoy them and discuss economical events.

Although I don't know any bots in particular right now.

maybe different sections for different kinds of bots would be nice. I personally don't care for gaming news but I would follow sections that contain general news and business news. in the same vein someone may not give a shit for financial news but does care about gaming.

might be more doable when labs rolls out

[QUOTE=James xX;52153891]I second this, I think there should be a "Post of the day" and "Ban of the day" section.[/QUOTE]

I like to be able to keep up with the wickedplayer and agentfaze moments so this would be very beneficial to my cause

[QUOTE=Problem;52153984]Could we get a Killscreen bot?[/QUOTE]

What about a killscreen for when you're banned, that shows the 5 seconds it took for a mod to ban you. Could have it like adware where you have to watch it everytime you change page.

Has to be in RSS format.

I've made the following changes;

- Added Ars Technica Gaming and Gadget feeds. Icons to follow.
- Altered stickying of threads, they will be stuck for 6 hours after posting for the most part. Some of the FP feeds (Rust, other games being produced by FP) will be stuck for a day.
- Altered how many articles some of the bots can grab at one time, will likely require ongoing balance[/QUOTE]

A few WAYWOers have programming blogs, you should ask them.

[Guldfisk]

Can we not have more regular news sources like BBC?

[Big D Duchovny]

I applaud adding ArseTechnica, but their best reporting is definitely in science, so could we maybe include that? I know this is a "gaming forum", but really does that include technology anymore than science?

Wouldn't that belong in [url=https://facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=396]polidicks?[/url]

I'm happy for the tweet bot to post in polidicks. I want Facepunch to be the place we can discuss every single tweet. I'm sick of reddit :v:

Oath, so am I. Going a tad off topic here but once I called nintendo jewish as to how it was handling switch issues and I got banned from an entire subreddit. When I tried to appologise I was treated like scum by the sub's mods. Reddit is full of jerks.

[HighVoltage]

What about a Trump Twitter bot that posts in a dedicated thread for his tweets? That way all discussion about them is localized

AV Club is cool for films, tv, etc.

You really need to stay up to date on the beat dweeb meat scene, otherwise you're gonna fall behind in this society.

KitGuru is a pretty good site for hardware and technology. It's sort of small and not well known:

I'm late as shit and not sure if this was mentioned but does anyone have an issue with [URL="http://www.eurogamer.net/]Eurogamer?[/URL] Digital Foundry is worth adding at-least, IMO.
