Zzzzzzzzzz

Go take a look at TAZ (The Admin Zone) Most of the groups don't give you access to any additional forums, they just show your interest in a specific topic (in their case different forum software) in your member profile (eg: My profile there and also as a tag under your username in posts. This is all done by the user, save for a select few groups that need a group leader approval to join, and requires no interaction from the admin. +1 from me as well.

I'll put in a vote for this as well. A lot of the news content my site focuses on is powered by feedburner. Can't get any of those feeds to work reliably or at all.
