Hey Filburt, I have a script that combines the API capabilities of php with Google, in the script you can search a keyword, and it brings up 10 results from google. I think this can be easily incorporated into one of your bots If you want, I can find the script and put up a demo.
Today at 11:19 AM filburt1 said this in Post #24 I also don't think Googlebot would be a good idea, mainly because it would teach people to just search on Google and ignore the forums altogether.
You mean teach people to post on the forum, and ignore actually going to the search engine itself?
It would be an add-on feature to an integrated IRC chatroom - the bot 'resides' in there, and poses questions which the chatroom participants then try to defeat each other in answering the fastest.
There could be a temporary leaderboard for the current round of trivia, and a permanent one (which could be reset on a regular basis if desired) to show overall rank.
This is an idea a friend of mine came up with but never actioned as his career keeps him too busy to devote time to such a project.
