You can subscribe to an RSS feed using the following link:

http://www.southperry.net/external.php?type=[TYPE]&count=[COUNT]&forumids=[LIST_OF_FORUMS]

Type = This can be XML or RSS2.
Count = The number of items you want to be listed in the feed. This must be a number between 1 and 15.
Forumids = The ids of each forum that you want to be in the feed. Each forumid should be separated by a comma. For example "8,18" signifies "Maplestory Discussion" and "Extractions".

Here are a few RSS feeds set up for you:

Extractions and Maplestory Discussion
http://www.southperry.net/external.php?type=rss2&count=10&forumids=8,18

Extractions, Maplestory Discussion, and Training Center
http://www.southperry.net/external.php?type=rss2&count=12&forumids=8,9,18

The RSS feed always assumes it's a guest to whatever forum it's visiting. This means that you cannot use an RSS feed on forums that are members only (social section).

Double post for an explanation

Anyone looking for a good RSS feed on Firefox, use this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2325

After installing and refreshing come back here, and create or add a "live bookmark" of the feed you'd like by following Fiel's instructions. If you just want News like I do, click on my link and hit "subscribe now!" button near the top. At the bottom of your browser, you'll notice a half dozen topics floating by. If you've read them all already, right click and mark all as read. From that point forward, whenever a new thread is posted in those forums, a new link notifying you will pop up in your ticker.

Cool... I've never used an RSS feed but I'll try this out.

(Aww... guests can't view the Infractions/Reports so I can't set up a feed for it. And yes, I do realize that allowing anyone to subscribe to those would create a huge security hole; I'm just bawwing for the sake of it.)

Anyone got a good way to do this on Opera? I Googled, and I got confused. I bet there is something already installed though, just watch me look like an idiot.

I like using Snackr (http://snackr.net/index.html) as an RSS reader. It can be a major distraction though, and RSS feeds tend to majorly contribute to my procrastination. (I'm not using Southperry feeds, when i just click on "New Posts" anyway; and how I can't use this for the Speakeasy/Funhouse.)
