Default Daily/automatic post

my website is based on an online gaming clan(Playstation 2), so everyday someone has to post a thread "Who's goin to be online today" and sometimes someone doesn't do it and i'm not around all the time to make the post everyday. So my request/question is, is it possible to make an auomatic post everyday at X time for X forum? Basically I want a new thread to be posted up everyday in a specific forum, actually I need a different thread for each forum I choose because we have different online games that our members play online.
Hopefully this is easy to understand.Thanks.

thats up to the people that are goin to post that they are going to play today.
like the thread says
WHo's goin to be online with this game today?

then people respond with if their goin to be on or not.

basically people are using this to up thier post count and it doesn't get posted up sometimes. know what i mean now?

You could add a cron which inserts a thread into the database.

Take a look at the various automatic birthday thread hacks and adapt them to what you need.

Thats a good idea, i'm a noob at this, i'll check it out and see if I can do it by myself, lol.
Which one would be the easiest or the best way to do it?

the only birthday hack I see here is the automatic pm one by Developer. Is their another one that your referring too?

Yes this would be pretty easy. As Paul said, simply look at the code of one of the existing birthday hacks.

And no, the PM hack won't do.

I use this here for staff only functions, maybe you or someone could play with it and create something up.

you say add it as a CRON, how and what is that. Also, can you guys explain to me how this code works, i'm looking at your guys's code, kinda like a Before/after right?
now this portion is where I add the "daily" subject that will be created at correct? I just adjust the "your title" for it to be the daily subject.
You must first be a registered member to view any code.
where do I add the message/decription in the post? I just started messing with php so I'm trying to learn, can you guys kidna explain to me how it works. I understand that we have to create the variables to be called upon later like
$title, $message, once those variables are made, I can call on them later in the code code right? I'm just seeing if i'm grasping this correctly. You guys are great here, I've found more help here then anywhere's else so far, all the help and guidance is really, really, appreciated!
