I love this thread and would like to get some more ideas since I have a lot of extra time to program. So far the main task seems to be an "auto bumper". I have made a program in Python that logs in and posts to a specified thread with a specified message (support for multiple messages / random selection).

Example:

Login: username, password

Post: topic, random msg => [msg 1, msg2, msg3]

I still need some input for this last part: do you want it to be standalone? Meaning that you would have something to schedule posts? I think that having a program running all the time is a bit of a hassle so I'm unsure what to do at this point. Also, as far as bumping goes, would it be every 24 hours or every 24 hours ONLY if there hasn't been a reply?

Would love to hear your thoughts!
