Distind,
If possible, could you expose a simple web service which would allow third-parties to query the FSTDT database? Something simple like:
public Quote getQuoteById(int quoteID)
public Quote[] getLatestQuotes(int maxCount)
public Quote[] searchQuotes(string fundie, string board, string text, int maxCount)
public Quote[] getRandomQuotes(int maxCount)
A service like this would help others extend FSTDT with custom functionality. For example, I wanted to write an FSTDT IRC bot with some basic functionality for updating the chatroom with latest quotes -- I can do it with screen scraping, but a web service just makes more sense.
