RSS_News_User

Is there a purpose to the RSS_News_User?
Technology News -> 2 views per thread
Business News -> 1 view per thread
Science News -> 1 view per thread

Is it not just a pointless use of resources or does
it actually improve the search results or something similar?

I guess there must be some use to it as those forums constantly have around 10 machines viewing the forums if not the threads, rivaled only by the ASP and .NET forums

Yes, the RSS-News-User is vital. It's someone/thing to $rep-- when you
need to spread it around to be able to rep people up.

Check out Dev Shed's RSS_News_User...

I started it, and got him down to about -500 all on my own, then other
people noticed and joined in the fun!

We would, but he's only posted three times. So once we've all
$rep--'d those three posts, there's nothing else we can do.

<edit>
As you can see here, here and here, we've had a good go at it.
