I was just thinking, wouldn't that RSS feed of a forum helps ? I just checked an RSS feed of a forum section, and it is displaying replies, thread details, etc..

Possibly, when I made the VB6 version some years ago I tried using the RSS feed but it wasn't in sync with the forums threads, had missing threads, and I was getting other weird results so gave up and never tried RSS again.

Akhileshbc Is right. To program an application like this you have to stay on top of updates. By the way I am very interested in this sort of application.
Good luck!
