Bot currently appears to be offline.

https://www.reddit.com/user/BobbyTablesBot doesn't appear to be live currently. It's also not responding to pings. I could probably host it, if needed. Also happy to take over keeping the repo working & up to date.

Still seems offline.

Alternatively I’d be happy to fold this functionality into u/xkcd_bot

@Ben-Garcia-Data Apologies, I have been super busy lately and my efforts to maintain the bot have been fruitless. I hope to find some time in the near future where I can overhaul the bot and make some major stability improvements.

@trisweb Is u/xkcd_bot open source? I am not opposed to the idea of merging the bots but I would prefer to keep the functionality open to the community.

Totally agree; the repo was open for a time but I had to fight with someone who cloned it over competing bots so I closed it down.

That's probably passed by now; I'd be happy to open source and combine if you'd like to collab.

No worries! Life happens and at the end of the day it's just a reddit bot. Not worth stressing over.
