Default News Bot

You may all see a familiar face around on the forums, his name is NewsBot!

We have added a user that automatically grabs news for us here on Organiclinker, though he is nicely restrained so shouldnt go mad!

As always any feedback let us know, we are always assessing things to make sure we get it right

In theory i think these are a good idea, in practice I have seen them push member posts off the page.

I think thumbs up, as long as they are kept in theit place!

No uprising here m'laddo

I love the bot, it's a great way to get people talking about things they either havn't seen themselves, or can't be bothered to start a thread about!
