Here are some things I might use scripting for:

- On a subscription request event, automatically accept it, play a .wav
file, and send a greeting
- On a buddy on-line event, send a message with a custom XML tag if they are
using a certain client
- Create a bot that matches people up for games.  For example, I would send
a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , and the bot would return JIDs of other
users who have registered with the bot and are currently on-line and
available for a game.
- Create news, stock quote, weather, etc. bots

mIRC, the popular IRC client for Windows, has thousands of bots written for
games, file sharing, etc...   It's a very popular feature that helped IRC
take off.
