Topic: [Request] Automated topic creation/moving/deletion

I run a forum for tournaments and I have a special subforum for quick matches against other memebers who are online at the time.  I'd like for a script to automatically generate a topic in the subforum at the start of every day at midnight, then once the next day begins at midnight, move the previous topic to a seperate subforum for archiving.

Would this be possible :?

Yes, you could create a php script to run the mysql query to create a new post, then move the old post (you would need to store the old posts id somewhere i presume?). Then add this script to crontab, to run once a day at midnight. (you would also want to make sure your script is outside public_html, to avoid others being able to run it).
