Wow. This is the second forum where WHY I want to do this is more relevant that what or how. This must be an indicator of the current "culture" of Programmers, apparantly in reaction to spam & spammers.
I could probably write an entire essay on this subject, but really I came to a technical forum to get technical information.

Why do you think it's like that?? Maybe because people that spam have wreaked it for "ligitimate" operators like you? Paranoia is the best defense against spam, spyware, etc....
Also, if you know anything about how bad spam and spyware have become, you'd understand why i asked the question that i did. I personally wouldn't want to be responible for coding a program that spams a bunch of on-line forums.
Now for your problem.
It's all going to come down to a set of sql statments. However, why out knowing more about the forum software it'll be hard for anyone to design a program to send these statments out to the various websites that you want to connect too.
Another option (and the most simple) would be get permission from the company that owns these forums to connect to the database backend only and skip the webbased crap. It'd be alot easyer just talking to the database. Also then you'd know what to exactly put into your sql staments.
