how would I gather random quotes and have them display on a webpage like how chatstats does?

Yo, a question
There are lots of ways. The two most obvious are:
1. Write a script that listens to channel chatter and saves the line if a random condition is met. For instance, if {[rand 100] == 1} {save_the_line} would save 1/100 of the lines (on average). You could have it rewrite the quote file each time, so that it gets rid of the first line, and appends a new one. Then you'd have a continuously changing set of random quotes. Output them in html format and you're done.
2. Create a logfile to log channel messages, and then write a script to randomly select lines from it and put them in the quote file. Then write another script to periodically write an html file based on the quote file.
