If this post is a violation, then please remove it.

The OU community is big but kind of small at the same time. Information is scattered across the internet, and forums come and go. While I was researching a project I came up with an idea that utilized forum RSS feeds. This allowed me to see if new interesting posts had been created. The initial draft was very rough and only used for my personal use during my commute to work.
I found value in the project and decided to develop a cleaner-looking website that utilizes RSS feeds and would allow you to see the most updated forum threads across the OU universe from your mobile device.

OUcafe.net was developed for this purpose. It is not another forum, there is no need to log in. It is just a forum post aggregator. Some of the pages are still a work in progress such as the file repository but I am hoping others find this useful.

If you know of any other forums or want me to link to your channel, please let me know. Also, the forums are displayed in alphabetical order and the information will only be as good as the RSS feed from the site.

That looks to be a splendid and useful resource. I had great difficulty to find another FE forum after overunity closed and your site appears to give useful links to some. Thank you.

Appreciate it. There is some good work happening on various forums that others may not know about. The goal is to consolidate the data stream and direct/connect that individual to the data they need. Certainly, I have room for improvement, and I am not looking to compete with anyone. The goal is to an avenue that the Overunity community can use to discover new information faster.

can't find the RSS feed for Energetic Forum. Would like to add them to the mix. If you know of any additional sources, please share, including good streaming channels.

It's a work in progress.

Interesting development......... The site oucafe.net got taken down, and my hosting provider currently has no answers and has escalated my support ticket to a senior member.

I never took conspiracy theories seriously, but I guess consolidating OU information and making it easier for people to find relevant sites is a No-No.

Thankfully, this was finally resolved. I am not sure of the details yet, but it is working.
