I've searched and searched and all I've been able to find are many hacks that allow you to syndicate your own forums into RSS feeds (which I may use for this project at a later time).
I'm looking to do the opposite. I'm building up a community that would heavily rely on the RSS feeds of other sites and put into a pre-assigned forum as per the site it came from. For example:
Feeds from sites A1, A2, A3, A4 would go into forumA
Feeds from sites B1, B2, B3, etc.. would go into forumB
(Very similar to "content generators" for Wordpress blogs, but not as 'sneaky').
I am running joomla and have fireboard installed, but am also open to revamping the site so that it works! could use mamba or another CMS, vbulletin if I have to.
I'd like this to be as transparent as possible, even including links to where the feed came from.
