BoardingArea RSS feed not working?
Has anyone noticed that the RSS feed for BoardingArea has not been updating in their RSS readers? It wasn't working for me in NewsBlur, and so I tried using Digg Reader as well, but no articles are showing up on there either. I've tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, resubscribing using the link directly on the bottom of Boarding Area's website (http://feeds.feedblitz.com/bafull-rss.php), etc. The RSS feeds for the individual blogs appear to be updating, but not the feed that posts all the posts by all the bloggers.
Any ideas on what is going on?
**edit: It stopped updating on Friday 10/18

The non-FeedBlitz RSS feed, http://boardingarea.com/full-rss/ (found in the home page's source code), appears to be up to date as of 5 minutes ago.

I believe the issue is related to the size of the feed. It is timing out loading into NewsBlur and probably into other systems as well as it is 775KB, larger than the 512KB cutoff many systems seem to have.
The abbreviated version noted above works because it is only 30 posts, not the 95 that the full feed has. Plus it is just pulling excerpts, not the full posts. That makes it small enough to get into readers but it also means clicking out to the actual posts you want to read rather than getting everything in the news reader.
