hmm...
Why not just create a seperate sub-forum for each server and name like : Free Server - Starka, Paid Server - Sky, etc...

Then just use the xml found here -> http://forums.x10hosting.com/external.php?type=xml&forumids=11 with the correct forum id for each sub forum ?

If rss is on then you can use http://forums.x10hosting.com/external.php?type=rss&forumids=11 or http://forums.x10hosting.com/external.php?type=rss&forumids=11,3/http://forums.x10hosting.com/external.php?type=xml&forumids=11,3

A link that might help, I don't have access to a vb forum to see what they are on about though :(

That xml isn't valid RSS, so it won't work in a feed reader. That'd be the primary reason, unfortunately, otherwise the problem would've been solved cause it'd be an RSS feed for everything anyways.

Any word on when this will happen? I wasn't able to get a post on my blog about the DDos attack on Chopin the other night because I was away most of the night. I got home to find that I had had several hours of downtime apparently...

One suggestion I have is to use a blogger such as b2evolution.
(See Picture)

You'll notice where it says Blogall, Blog A, Blog B, Linkblog, you can actually add as many of these as you want (e.g. one for each server) and they act as tabs like in an internet browser, and there could also be an overall one for the latest announcements, all under the same roof.

Ideas?

Should be able to do that with Categories on any good CMS including Wordpress; on WP we've also confirmed it's got RSS for each individual category, and 1 article can be dumped into multiple categories. So it'd be easy enough to do with most CMS's.

Hmmm... Why not put up the Facebook and Twitter links on the homepage first?
