I have been developing an application/plug-in that allows you to read and post to message boards via IM. Here is a sample chat log between me and the bot I have running for my board:

This is one of those things I wish they could un-invent

The project is open source at:
http://code.google.com/p/vbulletinbot/
I was hoping to find some people who would be interested in Alpha testing this with me before I release it to the general public. The bot is a .NET application that needs to be ran on a computer (a server essentially) that is connected and online all the time. If you do not have this, I can run the bot portion for you on my test machine.
I've been using this on my own for a a couple months now but as always the case, it is difficult for just one person to successfully find flaws/bugs/errors in development. So anyone willing to run this would be great!
Please let me know!
