Again, sorry for any possible redundancy.

Splog = spam-blog. I don't like the term myself, prefer 'aggregated content'
An autoblog/splog/whatever you call it will normally be aiming to get traffic from pages indexed in the search engines, a cycle site aims to pick up links from trackbacks posted on the blogs it takes content from. So for a normal autoblog the content can come from anywhere - serps, news sites, youtube, forums, anywhere with a feed. For a cycle site you want to only use places where you've got a chance of a trackback link - normally blogs, but...
Forums might work too! Some forums (like here) post trackbacks so could work, just need a way of finding out which ones.
