this thread is now about /prog/bots

; returns a list of (thread-id subject #posts last-post)
(prog/active-threads)

; creates a new thread
; returns boolean
(prog/new-thread! subject name email text)

; post a reply in a thread

(prog/read-replies thread-id #:after post-id)

I'm now working on a IRC gateway for personal use. To read a thread, I simply /join #thread-id. The topic is the subject of the thread-id and the replies to the thread will be sent as PRIVMSGs. To respond to the thread, I simply type my message in the #thread channel (as you'd expect).

The /motd of the server is a list of the most active threads, and the /list command uses subject.txt

my question is: wtf is the third field in that file all about?
