This is exciting. Also a little scary!

If there's some way to do this well, it might be ideal to limit the possibilities for sites that get auto-loaded. Just because I'm not sure we want the site flooded with news that nobody wants to see.

One way to work with this is to have featured forums all as forums that are user-curated. And of course, people will now have to do more work subscribing to the forums they want to see if they want to exclude some sites.

But it might be that for now we want to encourage people to limit the sites they have bots load to be just from, say, w/Media, that might be worthwhile.

And each case of a bot uploading a site would need to be one site per forum, so that people can avoid it by not subscribing.

Interested to hear other people's thoughts on this :)

I guess we should just have the community actively voting to remove/add specific bot-run forums so that we aren't spammed. I don't think that there are a lot of sites that most of us will agree on, but putting those on will reduce the work that people who post a lot have to do.
