What's the deal with people whining about this rss update thing? Why would anybody not like it? That's like hating a stop light for having a different shade of green - it just doesn't make sense to me.
People don't like it? I've started using it regularly and having it on byond is even better. Usually I don't really even see the updates and stuff, but now its just much easier to keep up with..

Several people have made blog posts about trying to disable it.

I agree, I use it on every site that I regularly visit that supports it.

Eh? I can't see any blog posts about it. Maybe they fell off the front page already.

I'm not planning to use it myself, but I see nothing wrong with having it available.

Meh.. if they don't want me to read their blog, they can feel free to disable RSS.

I absolutely cannot keep up with everyone's blog without it.

Yeah. Do a search for "RSS" and you'll find some "FIGHT THE POWER!" posts.

Exactly. And what do they do? They modify their CSS to simply hide the RSS link. That's all they can do. You can still access Members' RSS pages by going to http://members.byond.com/cKey/rss

I also don't see why they want to remove it. If they want more popularity, they should keep it, as RSS will be able to notify anyone who watches their blogs instantly and without lag like the pager might have when notifying you.

Really? You're wrong. No government can think of something that good!
