Hi Dana,
rss is fine, but it's a one-way street where a user can read but not post.
If you must eliminate the email option, please see if you can implement an
xml-rpc option so users could post as well without using the web interface.
Best,
Rob

Subject: Re: Important Information About Mailing Lists: PLEASE READ
Please give the forums a chance. We are looking into options to improve
them to work as best for everyone as possible. In addition to
consolidating information, we have also had some issues on other mailing
lists where vacation messages were auto-responding hundreds of times to
the list overnight. Not only did we receive complaints about this, but
we were also temporarily marked as a spammer, causing some people to not
receive messages from us. These messages included lists messages and
other emails we were sending - license keys, etc.
In response to one of your suggestions, we have set up RSS on our forum.
You can subscribe to the entire forum's RSS by using the following URL:
feed://forums.realsoftware.com/rss.php
If you would like to subscribe to an individual forum, then you can do
this by providing the individual forum id in the URL. To get the forum id
you can look at the link for the forum you are interested in, such as
Database, which is:
http://forums.realsoftware.com/viewforum.php?f=3
The forum id is the value that is provided for the 'f' variable in the
URL, so in this case the id for the Databases forum is 3. You can put
this same variable in your RSS URL in order to subscribe to that
particular forum. Here is an example for the Databases forum:
feed://forums.realsoftware.com/rss.php?f=3
