With last month's move of the forum database back to unrealsp.org itself now behind us, it has been made possible to use a forum-based news system. Thanks to some awesome code provided by Raven, I have even been spared the need to programme such a system myself, so big thanks are due there.
Among the advantages of this new system are the ability for registered users of our forums to comment on news as it comes in, and the ability for multiple site staff to post news with ease.
All older news has now been manually archived (to view it, click the Archive link at the bottom of the page).

If you'd like to have icons in news i can program such thingie but it'll require phpbb db change (new table and new row in topic table).
Madness, as you know, is like gravity…all it takes is a little push!

It would indeed. The icons were cool, but I'm in no hurry to do anything so drastic! Thanks anyway.

Yeah. It wasn't possible as long as the forum was hosted over on hellscrag.net.

This topic icon hack for news requires:
- checking with what board current topic is linked (if icons should be visible in news only)
- adding one row into posts table (to store what icon post is using)
- modification of viewtopic.php and .tpl if you'd like to see topic icons in forum view.

Very useful feature.
Now official news that comes from other sites can be discussed in proper threads.
This will prevent a multiple threads titled "OMG look what I've found, news from BU".
