So i was playing around with campfire and i noticed that i could easy write a bot for it. so i did. it sucks. but it shows what you could do. how i love www mechanize. and perl. check it out:

here is the speak url;
/room/44/speak?message=message+here
if someone goes to that while in room 44 they will say “message here”
heh.
