In that case and if you want to give it a try yourself, you could get most done yourself probably. I would suggest by having a look at our Articles section first.

1. How to go about adding a button to vbulletin that is only seen by one user group.
This can be easily done with a simple Template condition and the HTML to show the button.

2. How to auto-generate posts in a particular forum when that button is pressed.
See the article section on using Data Managers to create threads.

3. How to auto-pull web page content into a post.
This might be the most difficult.

4. How to to pull the game week and year from our database. (They're in a data table called fof_gameinfo in fields called CurYear and Week.)
Should not be much of a problem.

5. How to create a dynamic link.
Also should be pretty easy.
