Alright, bed time. I'm gonna see if I can get it reading commands tomorrow. I've been trying to get it to be command-line runnable, so that I can drop a cron job on it. I might also start working on caching.

Something that would be impossible... unless people used a different color for it... that would be cool would be role claims. Very important, and regretful to miss...

How can Mamobo believe anything you say!?

My user recognition function was... a bit too lenient, and just decided everyone was voting for me.

No clue what it's doing now.

Alright, this week is gonna be about making sure it can cache the threads, so now I have to get it storing everything in the database and loading threads that it already has info on. Therefore, we need a thread longer than 50 posts!

That's right, you have permission to shitpost. Responsibly. Don't make me get Meph in here.

Also, how do you make something like Mamobo? Does it cost you money?

[Caz]

Mamoboe.

[Shakerag]

Shitposting.

Is reality a lie? Is the cake a lie? Mamabo doesn't know!

Lots of practice. I'm a software developer, so that helps. Mamobo is written in python, which I've hardly ever used, so I did it just to learn it a bit more. I'd post a repo of it, but I would rather not give people easy bots for the forum, so sadly, it stays locked up. But, it's just a glorified web crawler bot, that then interprets posts by reading any red text, usernames, and post times, and then making a post request on the right page with the right info. It's not super complicated right now.

Right now, it costs me $0. It's only time I spend on it.

But, it will likely end up costing me money to host it, but not too much depending on where. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have some free options that would probably work for an entire year. I like DigitalOcean, though, because the cost isn't hidden behind twenty layers of obfuscation, which would end up being like $5 a month. If I had more projects like this though, they'd all be hosted in the same place, so it wouldn't be more expensive, unless it was resource intensive. Honestly, I consider that acceptable, because I like making stupid little bots like this, but you'd be surprised how many people don't want them.
