He just has a cron set up on his server which refreshes that page every 15 minutes. Myself and a few other staff used to do the same thing but we have all stopped ours because people got grumpy for not replying immediately when they thought we were online.
I've always wondered how you would setup a cron to log you in (a)

Wouldnt be too hard, simply have a HTML form onyour server with the defualt values of the fields (username + pass) as your mybb ones. Then get javascript to execute the form to "http://mybb.com/login.php" instead of "/login.php". Then cron the page to run every 15 mins
Ah yeah didn't think of that
Or simplier set a cron to open lynx at a certain URL, and close it etc.
