    it's a bot that auto parses something like an rss feed and makes forum posts dependant on criteria that you set.
    Great for a forum that talks about recent developments on a certain topic.

    That's it thanks SHT.
    The reason I want it is pretty simple really, I have the pleasure (or rather displeasure) of loading various results from an rss feed into a forum, each result goes in as a separate post in a specific forum. IE the result from 1 team goes into their forum the result from another into theirs etc etc.
    Doing it by hand is a right royal pita.

    Another use I've seen them put to is when a comment is placed on an article, it gets pulled by the bot and put into a forum -- can't think of a use for that at the moment though.

    Thanks again SHT
