phpBB 3.x supports Atom feeds (similar to RSS) since 3.0.7, but the support needs to be explicitly enabled in the settings. So, please enable it.
I've enabled all public feeds.
I was going to write a little script to post a message in #nesdev every time a new thread gets created here (Just For Fun™), but noticed phpBB doesn't seem to support If-Modified-Since HTTP header for the feed, so I'm not so sure if it's a good idea to hammer the server with traffic every couple of minutes...
As for hammering the server, well... you can ask WhoaMan if he'd appreciate it. I know jack squat about the new setup + bandwidth limits and so on. :-)
