Okay, I'm not a real coder so I dont even know how impossible this may be - But I thought it might be fun to have a way to have a user 'ask' a question, and get an autoresponse by a vB 8-Ball.

I'd like to have phrases we could customize for the responses. Just sort of a fun thing.

How would it wokr?
Maybe there could be a checkbox you would check, when posting, and if you check the checkbox then "Magic vB 8-Ball" would autorespond to your thread with one of the random phrases..
Maybe an image could also be associated with a phrase too.

For example, a user could ask:

Will I get the job I interviewed for today?

And down by the 'submit a poll' area, there could be a checkbox to check that says "Have vB Magic 8-Ball give an answer"
and if you check that box, your thread would get an autoresponse from the magic 8-ball program, saying something like "Not likely" or "This appears to be certain" or "No Way!"
(you get the idea :) )
