GDNet frontpage News tab seems to be broken

I have not seen the articles in the news tab update for several days now.

Choosing 'Top News' results in this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/gamedev/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/pages.php(458) : eval()'d code on line 3965

Meanwhile 'Top in 24 Hours' and 'Top in 7 Days' are both now devoid of articles, presumably from lack of any new ones coming in.

If I view GDNet from an incognito tab (so I'm not logged in) then I do see two articles in the 24hr and 7day categories, but that doesn't really seem right either.

Doesn't seem to crash for me. Have you tried clearing your cache?

I'm seeing only two news articles in the past 7 days also. My guess is the queue ran out. smile.png

Or maybe their feeds got messed up?

Yes, tried that.

I also tested it in different browsers and on different devices - for me they all have the same issue.

I'm not seeing any errors either from any of the tabs or filters under the latest Firefox (40.0.1). I do see the lack of recent news though. Unsure what is going on there, and Mike has not been around to look into it lately

Yahoo Pipes discontinued their service, which is how we aggregated all the RSS feeds. We're going to need a new aggregator that provides a similar service. I'm looking into a replacement now.

It's not a bad time to revisit the RSS feeds we aggregate as well.. what do you think we should include in the list?

Wow, that's a shame. As far as I knew it was one of the better ones?

I wonder if that question should go to a broader audience.
I'll chip in with http://www.windowscentral.com/ , we were aggregating them before (with their old URL wpcentral.com). For me that feed got pretty interesting around the Windows 10 release.
