News Bot inactive?

[BlkRb0t]

Why isn't the News Bot reporting any news in threads? It has been a while since its last post.

There was a problem with the RSS feed retrieval, which has now been corrected. New threads should start appearing regularly again.

I don't think the bot is working properly, it posts just 1 or 2 topics in days or no topic at all.

Well, one day there is alot of news, the other day there isn't.

There has been a lot of gaming news lately but the bot has not reported it, there must be some problem with its RSS retrieval as 711 said.

You are probably right, with the Tokyo Game Show going on recently there has been a lot of gaming news but the news bot isn't picking up all the news for some weird reason.

Does the Bot get news from a single site and paste it here, or does it find things that appear informative from any site?

I think it mostly gets its news from games.slashdot and Gamasutra.
