it comes back to what was said before about automating some of the player updating process. the login details for the forum are in a table somewhere, and there's (theoretically) no reason we couldn't generate API keys and add them to that table (for example), and pass them to other applications we piggyback off this forum's database (like googledocs/forms).
it all comes down to what permissions jcink gives admin when it comes to the forum database, really. on an independent server, im about 90% certain i could write something to do this though.
