How can I set up a user account to become an RSS feed posting bot?

I know that vBulletin & IPB both have the support to do this; can MyBB, and if so, how? I would like to be able to post content from several RSS feeds under a forum user account that I specify.

Please help.

Something like this?

Thanks Vovaloid, but I would think that MyBB has something like this plugin already available within MyBB 1.6 as a built-in feature? Such a feature comes standard with most, if not all other major forum software paltforms; it is built-in with vBulletin & Invision Power Board.

I don't know of a built in feature that does such a thing, sorry D:

Create a new user, install http://mods.mybb.com/view/rss-feed-poster plugin and specify that user as the post author and that is all you need.

No, MyBB does not have a RSS posting feature by default. The best way to do this is as Pavemen said above

Does this only work with fopen and not curl? I only have curl enabled on my server.

Damn, it should work with cURL over fopen.

use the one in my link above, its more advanced
