I made a fix to my solution, maybe it will help some of you. I can't get it to automatically send a message to a channel yet when someone posts or replies, but I do have a pretty nice setup. When someone posts or replies, it stores it in a database as well as a text file. The textfile is then FTPed to one of my UNIX shells. The bot on that unix shell is running a TCL script that reads in the file.
So, if a user types:
!top5posters, he gets a list of the top 5 posters
!last5, he gets a list of the last 5 posts
!lastpost, he gets the last post made to the board as well as what it said.
!onlineusers, he gets a list of users currently on the board.
