Awesome indeed, what a great concept. Thanks, Jafo232! I'm going to have to play with this.

I have a question, and perhaps it's outside of the scope of this hack's intention (but then it might inspire some new innovation too.)

Your work here allows users to interact with the forum via an AIM bot. What about allowing the AIM bot to interact with users via the forum?

What I mean by that is best illustrated by an example:

My forum has a dedicated AIM chat room that we gather in; everyone prefers to use AOL IM or Trillian or iChat over a vB-integrated FlashChat. However, FlashChat has an advantage over AOL IM, in that you can have a module that reports "Who is Chatting Right Now" on your forum.

So what I'm thinking is, would this AIM bot be able to report how many users are gathered in the AIM chat room (and/or their names) and report it to a module/banner/whatever that appears on our forum?

Just a thought to throw out there on an otherwise idle Sunday evening.

Thanks again for the great work you've shared here.
