I require either a windows based executable program, or a web based script that will run automatically (obviously the web page will need to be opened) and basically keep an archive of another web sites forum/guestbook.
The code should then check every <customizable> seconds for any new posts on the guestbook, and if there is any, copy the post to the server that the software is running on.
It is one-way traffic only.
If a message has been deleted on the other site, then it should be left alone on the archive site.
The message board which is being archived is written in CGI Script, but the archive site can be written in whatever the coder chooses, but must not use too many resources as it will be running 24hours on a server that is running for far more important things :)
