News on EasyDiscuss backend dashboard is incredibly outdated and needs to be removed

Hi there,

I've reported this a few times and it's still there I think a year later, but I figured I would report it again since it hasn't been fixed and at this point is seeming like it never will be. But here's my last shot.

These are what are shown on an initial install of EasyDiscuss 3.2.9599 (the latest version at the time I am posting this) in the dashboard. This probably is not the best UX given that these are incredibly outdated and no longer relevant (for several years now). I'd suggest just removing this backend feature until you guys can figure out what the issue is (if I remember correctly it was something due to the way you are retrieving news feed items from your server that Joomla started blocking).

Either way though, it should be removed until it can be fixed at the very least. Currently EasyDiscuss gives me the impression that it's an end of life product because there's been virtually no feature improvements or additions for a very long while now, and that's one of the reasons I've been hesitant to use it.

Oh, and as an added bonus, the links below go to 404 pages on your site.
