I'm surprised no one on the entire forums has mentioned Discord in any section (from what I can search anyway).

https://discordapp.com/

I was wondering if someone has found a way to integrate it into vBulletin. (If there is away) There are a few official and non-official api's out there.

iframe it in any template you would like it in?

Iframe is something anyone can do. I'm referring to:

- https://github.com/teamreflex/DiscordPHP
- https://github.com/Cleanse/discord-hypertext
- http://phptrends.com/dig_in/Discord

I'm not that much familiar with PHP, but no one can use these PHP (API's) for some kind of proper integration?

what I'd like:

a simple "who's chatting" box below the "who's online" box.

A way for users to confirm their forum name would be great so others don't steal it.

I have a node.js bot running on my forum VPS which communicates with vBulletin. Users have to PM the bot in Discord a string/hash that they can find in their profile, this will then verify their forum account and forcefully change their name in Discord to match their forum name.

Only downside is that their name changes when they change their username in Discord, not sure if this is still the case but last time I checked this was still a "problem".

Hah, that would be a problem. Though I don't see a need to forcefully change names in the first place.

Is the bot open source?

It's not unfortunately, it's far from perfect to be released open-source. :)
