Introducing the NewsBot

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:16:55 +0000

Lunarsoft has added a custom member into our Editors group that goes by the name of NewsBot. The NewsBot imports articles from the Lunarsoft frontpage to the news section of our forums to allow easier discussions.

This is a trial run to see how well the NewsBot works and depending on how well it works, it may be a permanent addition.

Let us know what you think.
