A way to stream latest forums posts onto the frontpage?

[Guest]

Was thinking, perhaps there is a way to stream the latest forums posts onto the frontpage on fuwanovel.net?

(or even onto the sidebar in the browse pages)

https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=new_posts&search_app=forums

it's not quite RSS.... so I was wondering if it can be done....

I'll ask romme & ilegend

This is a good idea, but maybe people posting in the forum dont want their posts to be on the main page? I know a lot of people post in the forums, because well its a limited place where people can see what they are saying. If we implement this it might make the more shy members stop posting in the forums, which is something i dont want. Everyone should feel comfortable to post what they want comfortably.

Just my thoughts.

I don't mind it showing at all, but considering that when I go here I go straight for the forums anyway, it doesn't affect me at all.

Will it be better or not though is the question...

What about streaming only the newest topics, or the topics that have gotten the most replies??

In my experience, most people who start a topic do so because they want replies, and thus aren't necessarily "shy" about privacy. So it might be a better compromise?

We may want to strategically choose or create a few topics which will appeal to newcomers to the site. Things like "What anime are you watching/looking forward to?" "Little Busters VN Reviews" "Favorite VN-to-Anime Adaptation" and so on. There could be a "What's going on in the forums?" Box with links built in.

If we strategically choose topics, we won't have to deal with RSS/etc. and just manually type them in.

Good point!
