A 'bot' for automated thread posting

Hello,

I am hoping a resident expert around here can help me with my situation here.

I am running vBulletin as a tool with my fellow developers and we would like for vBulletin to interact with some external applications. I just don't know where to start looking. I am not requesting any special developer help, I just need insight on how or IF this can be done. I am pretty sure it is possible. NOTE: I am not a coder or programmer by any means.

A simple explanation of what I'd like to do is:

GOAL: Create some kind of "bot" that can communicate with the forum's database so that it can generate new threads in a given forum/sub-forum location. This bot would be triggered by an external Windows application that is written in C Sharp.

Possible? Something that makes MySQL database entries on the fly?

I am interested in hearing what ideas you guys might have!

Thanks,
David

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
