Suggestion: RSS feed for best and most viewed teases

There is an RSS feed for the latest teases. Could there also be a RSS feed for the best and the most viewed teases?

Sadly, no.

Here is the way RSS works, each time something new happens it is added to the feed. Old things get moved down, new things are added on top. Things you have seen before, ignored or watched are never seen again. Think of it like news articles in a newspaper. This is a way to filter the net for those of us with lots of sources of information.

For your idea to work someone would need to compile said lists and add them to the rss feeds, An additional aggregation of information which has no purpose. This is a bad idea unless your only feed is MiloVana.

ps, run, run for the hills! I am back

I'm pretty sure you are wrong, as there is an RSS feed for Milovana already that has the latest teases. It's accessible from the homepage and the link is

http://feeds.feedburner.com/MilovanaWebteases

I think it would be possible to regenerate the RSS feed each time the best or most viewed top 10 list changed, or say once a day...

yes it CAN be like that. With a little java scripting. For example every hour the script searches if there are new popular teases, and if there is - that's the event for RSS.

Wow, I nearly fell out of my chair to see you agreeing with me, Nezhul. That's a pleasant surprise. :-D

I'm not agreeing with anyone - I'm opposing the one who said it's not possible.

:lol:

Back on topic: Thanks for the suggestion, but as others have stated, RSS really isn't that well suited for the job. I could see something in the way of that we have somebody from the community who goes around and "features" teases they like. Then we could have an RSS feed of featured teases.

Feel free to discuss this idea, I've already got a lot planned for the near future, but I'm always watching for the next cool thing to implement. The more detail there is on an idea and the more interest, the more likely it'll get picked up.

I think tastes are too different to have people like that. It'll take like 5 people that will feature the teases they like in different categories. Like one loves storys, other - pain, other - instructions, other - humiliation, etc.
In theory you could create like 5 rss lines for that, and the user wil choose wich lines to attend. Like 1 is the pain line, other - edging, etc.
But I think it aint worth the effort.

I like the idea but I know what Nezhul is saying, perhaps you could have a different person from the community each week, perhaps people with high rated teases, totm winners, lots of teases authored, or anyone who want to do it. They could pick a tease and write about why they like it or whatever.

Although I dont know how RSS feeds work (even tho I think RS stands for 'really simple', its still beyond me).
Perhaps a blog would be good, something similar to the old slavechylde recommends thread. So that old teases dont get forgotten :)
