What a shame that that board indexes are so clogged with rubbish, that we can't use them to look for interesting threads.

I use it for my website http://blockchained.com bitcointalk top posts. Without xml parsing it won't work.
edit: the page I need to access is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=.xml;sa=recent;limit=255

Would it be allowed to scrape bitcointalk? Because I think about developing a scraper for this. Doesn't make sense if it gets blocked after being recognised.
I'm happy to play this open and would love to see feedback from the admins either
a) about enabling RSS/XML option or
b) if I'm free to use a scraper and with which limits

Same, here. Currently you would be required to scrape the website and extract the DOM elements from the HTML. And then parse those. I am very curious if we can get an answer from somewhere. I've found nothing in meta.
Same. Wouldn't generating all that extra shit take more CPU / bandwidth than the xml page? ._.

Alright, I'll try to enable at least some of its functionality in the near future. (The trouble is that action=.xml has a whole bunch of options, and I know that some combinations of options end up resulting in minutes of computation. I need to figure it out.)
Thanks theymos for your time.. phelix blockchained page was very usefull.. otherwise I wont come here in bitcointalk.org
Let us know if you figure it out!

Thanks for all this phelix

Note that I only sample that page every 10 minutes with exactly these options:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=.xml;sa=recent;limit=255
If there is another way to achieve something similar (a largish number of recent posts) I might look into it as well.

Hey, I would like to voice some support to phelixes site; I became used to monitor new topics from there and now it doesn't work anymore 
I hope this gets sorted out because the list of the most viewed topics was really nice.

Same here! It was such a usefull feature!

I primarily only use bitcointalk through blockchained.com so that would be great if this could get fixed so the hot topic scraper would work. Thanks!
