[Help] Web Crawlers and Bots - Psycho_Coder - 08-19-2014

Hello,

I want to increase my knowledge more on web content extraction and web crawling. I have run out of ideas about what to crawl and what kinds of bots I can make.

I am not sure if I should used the term bot here.

If you have some idea do throw them here.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Psycho_Coder.

You can always move into building game bots for browser based mmorpgs. It combines both the scraping aspect and logic aspects as you try to play like a normal player.

I was bored and I created a script that was scrapping entire PHPBB forums and inserting the content into a local database.
I later realized that something went wrong in it, so I have to fix some thing, but it was sort of fun.

I'm thankful for @Deque's feedback, as I'm also looking for new things to do in this field of programming.
