F2’s TF2News IRC bot is great.
If you aren’t familiar, it collates news feeds from the major community news sites.

My suggestion is to have a similar feature on the right sidebar for all those who don’t frequent IRC.

I think the poor ESH sign-ups go some way to demonstrating that information flow within competitive TF2 could be improved.

I’m a bit retarded when it comes to irc, so how can my channel get this bot? :)

Just Ask F2

How about making an RSS feed of that news? Would surely be easy enough to make a quick site that just displays it too for those who can’t be bothered with an RSS client.

It’s on cadreds end, you need to add a slash after each url…

No its the ETF2L side…
If I paste a link and it auto creates the [Link] text you see it works fine.
But if I use the URL BBCode to label the link it chops off the closing slash.

e.g.

[url http://www.cadred.org/News/Article/103272/]Ask F2[/url]
is output as…
http://www.cadred.org/News/Article/103272Ask F2[/url]

Wouldn’t matter if cadred actually worked properly.

Why the hell cadred doesn’t function without that trailing slash is a very good question.
Why the etf2l site strips it is also a very good one.

I can’t answer the first, and am kinda at a loss for the second, but I’ll experiment with that for a bit.

SUPER BUMP!

TF2 players need to get off their asses and support Cadred, Vanilla, CommFT, ESEANews, etc,

Use your sway (for once) ETF2L!
