Is there an RSS feed for announcements and service updates?

I think the forum is great for discussing these sort of things, but getting them via a feed reader is much easier than checking the forums on a regular basis.

Well awhile ago I enabled vBulletins data output thing - though I never posted about it.

Basically you can grab the last 5 posts or threads from the forum using the forum ID (5 for announcements etc).

Use the following for the last 5 threads (THREADS, not posts) from the announcement forum:

http://www.hawkhost.com/forums/external.php?type=xml&forumids=5

and use the following for the last 5 posts (so if there's an update it'll jump to the top of the list.. basically the most recently replied in thread):

http://www.hawkhost.com/forums/external.php?type=xml&forumids=5&lastpost=true

Hopefully that helps, let us know if that doesn't suit your needs.
