Personally I think this would vary from forum to forum like for instance a sports forum could have staff added specifically for the bots process & they could add each days sporting events & times.
For a developer website they could have the answer to the question "where do I go to buy X" & the bot would reply with the appropriate link & such.
This would be a HUGE leap forward for this modification & one step closer to being an mIRC like chat script without all the hassle.
Best of luck in your decision & I look forward to see the results!
