There's already a thread about getting data from the forums via RSS. Maybe you could write a module for fishy that checks the RSS feed for posts? I'd be concerned about times when the foums are super active though. Every once in a while there's a ton of posts all at once. How would the IRC bot handle that?

Check RSS every minute, and make 1 PRIVMSG for all the new posts? It would have to provide a summary or something.
