I did forget about the Forum, because I run my own forums for business and I spend the majority of my day on the computer / Internet generating work, marketing and doing research.
It is great to get reminders on Twitter about forum posts, it reminds me to return here and take a break from working. I enjoy my work so much that I forget to browse places like this forum. The Twitter link is only really seen by people who choose to follow the forum on twitter, it is not seen by the masses unless they choose to search for it directly or search for something relating to our conversations.
The feeds have been there since the forum started, but most people dont know what to do with them, what I was saying was that the information is sent out on them, not just the occasional post like on Twitter, but whole conversations, I was pointing out that they were never a problem in the past because people who worry about such things didnt know that they existed, so they couldnt worry about them. With Twitter as with RSS feeds, the majority of people will not find Leyland Forum, but the more technical competent will have more chance of coming across it and finding their way here. If you dont see a rash of people trying to corrupt you after finding conversations on the RSS feed then you are likely to have the same lack of problems via Twitter. I have to admit that its far easier to find us on Twitter than it is to search for RSS feeds but the principle is the same.
