The ticker seems to be running 100% gamespot news threads....... I hates it >>

what happened to it having a mix from other news services?

I know I have not seen a Joystiq thread in the ticker for abotu a month 0-o

its been pure gamespot.....and frankly I try and limit my time there since they have issues with simple things like truth....

yeah, I regret that too. :(

But here's why:

I was formerly running RSS feeds from Joystiq and Kotaku in the ticker. However, I was having some severe problems with the ticker not loading and traced it to the feeds hanging up (for reasons I do not know). I experimented with GameSpot's and it ran flawlessly. So I've left it in place.

When I get a chance I will try the others again (the ticker can accomodate 2 feeds)...

See if Joystiq alone can run,you have to be a "special" member to post on Kotaku so its no fun when you gotta say something :P.
