"The requested URL /newanswersrss.xml was not found on this server"
"The requested URL /questionsrss.xml was not found on this server"

Has this also disabled the blog view of new answers?

I mean, I'm not complianing if it stops the constant poxy fuling, but blog view was very useful.

I'd abuse it by making a call to a zillion RSS threads every second or so.

OK, so... are there plans to re-enable RSS feeds?

I've always been surprised, back when I was reading up on RSS, that I never saw much about how to avoid that sort of abuse.

SOLUTION, MAKE THE REAL RSS FEEDS FLAT FUCKING FILES POPULATED BY CRONTAB EVERY 20 MINUTES

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, that is the solution.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 04:43 (nineteen years ago)

Can we implement it or do I have to keep typing the RSS feed by hand?
