That means no more scare basicbot?

Some people found the bot scary??

Wow that is strange.

Finnally managed to do some real timeout handling on DerpyBot instead of having the script be in a while true loop without any puase....
Result:
From the CPU usage of 90% it is now all the way down to 0.1%

funny how the thing on my server that noms most CPU is now my own instance of OmnomIRC

DerpyBot should be extended so that when someone posts a ticalc.org archives or news link it shows the file/news title, like how it shows Youtube video titles.

Maybe you could have a bot where if someone types !bug <username> or something like that then the bot replies <username>: Please submit your bug report via http://ourl.ca/issue and feature requests via http://ourl.ca/request so that admins are notified ASAP. Thank you.


Kinda like !intro <username> in #Cemetech where the bot tells a new user to introduce himself . It would make it easier when someone reports a big site issue that only admins can fix.


Perhaps an !admin command too (with option for username if you want to highlight him), where the bot responds with "<username>: Please contact only the actual site admins listed in blue color at http://www.omnimaga.org/team if you have questions or concerns about the website or IRC channel. Other users cannot help you on such matters."



The first feature would be handy when people keep posting bug reports on IRC, especially those who aren't very active, and the second feature would be handy when people starts bugging me or other non-admins like juju about site issues.
