RSS = Really Simple Syndication

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28file_format%29

It is a "webfeed" format that allows a subscriber to recieve new content from a Web site. An RSS Reader on your PC would poll the webfeed from time to time and download the new content.

RSS feeds are operated by news web sites, weblogs, schools, and podcasters.

All RSS is, is a way of publishing material from another site, on your site. For example, if Steve wanted, he could put a sidebar with CNNs latest headlines. The headlines are automatically updated by an RSS feed. I'm not sure how RSS would work for a forum though. If it was a feed-per-thread, I could see it.

TXWagon: how were you thinking of using it?

I was looking through the FAQ page here on the site and saw a reference to RSS.....http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums/faq.php?faq=vb_board_usage#faq_vb_rss_syndication. ..if it was enabled I would consider cobbling together an RSS aggregator for my PC at work. That would allow me to keep tabs on new posts without logging into the site. That is, I could read posts from the site and my nosey neighbors in the cube farm would think I'm working.:D

Sorry for the techno-babble.
