I have found a site powered by phpbb with a hack that automatically creates new topics in its forum from the RSS feed from my news module.
I think this is a great idea to make a forum more active and I was wondering if it would be possible to import news articles from the same site into newbb as new topics?
If there is nothing that would do it maybe some developpers could work on that using the database or the RSS feeds. I am sure people starting a new forum would be interested to have this function.
The possibility to replace the comments section of the news module by a link to the topic created would also be interesting.
Here is the site I am talking about:

Some of the topics are coming from my news module at Mustangv8.com

It seems that it should be possible. The feature is already incorporated into AMS; and I think that phppp's Articles module does it also. There's a possibility that it's already being considered for the next version of News - if there is a next version.
