ForumBot->Next Gen IRC Info Bot

First off, we launched the new Tyreus Theme as well as the new Tyreus Client Area, powered by TheHostingTool. Second, we started the “Holiday Promotion 2008” You probably want all the info. For that head on over to Topic 2084 at the Tyreus Forums. ;)

The main point of the post is to talk about the new IRC Bot that I’ve been developing lately. Essentially, it gets data from the forums and presents them to the channel. It’ll work for forum topics, issues, and users.

If you typed “topic 1″ it might return something like this:
Topic Title Here

Nifty, eh? I thought you’d think so. I have the forum topic stuff done about 75% and the issue thingy… 10% :P Yeah, I’ve been having some troubles with that. However, special thanks goes to cURL and the PHP explode() function. Without them, I woudn’t have been able to do this. I probably used explode way too much, though. Hey, it works. :)

Stay tuned for updates on how this thing is coming along.
