New forum section added. There will probably be a few kinks to work out. I'm not sure if these threads from the feeds should be included on our portal. Whattya yalls think?

It's working acceptably now. Probably make some refinements, but at least it's usable.

Ok, there's a new user "RSS Reader". We'll filter him out from the portal so only threads that originate from "real" users show up there. HOWEVER, these threads are real threads and you can reply to them as normal. The RSS Mechanism is just a far more effecient way to pull in some interesting content. We'll be tweaking on the process, and refining the way data is pulled from sources.

For now, it's going to work a bit like this:
There is a dedicated RSS Feed forum in the 2 Wheel and 4 Wheel sections. It's a catch all bucket. If a user responds to one of the threads in those forums and/or we think it is interesting and it clearly pertains to one of the other forums, we'll move the thread.

The Professional Motorsports section is a bit different in that there are some good feeds for each type of Motorsport, so they will go directly into those forums.
