Full RSS News Feed

Just wondering, is there a reason a full feed is not (or doesn't appear to be) available?

I know it's the age old tossup between loosing ad revenue and keeping everyone happy but if you offered a monitised full feed, you'd probably see an increase in ad rev...

Is this not what you are looking for: http://www.pistonheads.com/xml/news091.asp?c=26

That's not a full feed. I'm talking about having the entire article in the feed, not just the first line of it.

E.g. http://www.autoblog.com/rss.xml

If you ran it through something like feedburner, you'd have some nice metrics to analyse off the back of it. Be more than happy to help with implementation.

I will put it on the list of ideas, but it is not likely to be developed any time soon.

We don't really see the RSS feed as a destination in itself, we see it as a quick way to stay up to date with what is happening on the site and jump to the site if something takes your fancy.

Oki doki, although it *should* literally only be about 1 line of code that would need changing (monitization aside). It's prolly a regexp that generates that description line. Should just need removing to give full article.
