Was thinking of a few ways to increase functionality, and thought up the forums. Might be adding that to my next project.
Any suggestions as to what to have on it?
-
As in reading/writing to existing forum software like smf, phpbb, etc.
Or developing a new forum system exclusively for the bot?

I was thinking a new system for it.
Can make it so if you click "Reply", it sends a /tell <bot> !forum post #44333 reply <msg>
Or something. Making it show the posts would be easy, but making a post/replying might become tricky.

could do it with having the bot provide some feedback.
you click a "post reply" click in the window of the thread.
To [bot]: forum reply 7534 (triggered by the click)
[bot]: To reply to the thread "Some Thread" use: /tell bot forum reply 7534 <your reply>
To [bot]: forum reply 7534 Bump for more ++! (typed by the user)
should be easy enough for joe average to use i guess.

A in-game forum would be limited, I wrote a script that just checks the forum every 6h, and reports new topics in the past 12h with a link to it.

Hey Natural, I would love an in-game forum. Be alot easier for me to admin something like that than have to worry about buying a doman, and a server and building the site... blah blah blah! Not to mention, I have a lot of members that would rather use ingame forums than outgame. Don't ask me why, but most of my members don't like droping to desktop...

im already working on a forum module
mine is based on the working of SMF altho it isnt a requirement to have the SMF (its just good if u do)
