  1. @snowcone don't get discouraged. A bot has a lot of "moving parts" and is actually one of the more difficult products to undertake. Think of all the different things said bot has to interact with. Let's think about the milestone post bot. It has to read data on the users that post and find the post count within the database. Then it has to print a congratulations message to said user. It sounds like a two step process but as you know with coding nothing is that simple. You'll have to be able to read a lot more data than just post count, you'll have to sort through a lot of posts, do you choose to prioritize users to increase efficency? Do you want to have multiple messages it can send. Now you have to code even more so it picks the message at random. Then you have to interact with the actual posting system. That's not easy at all. There are a lot of things to a bot and it's not an easy project so keep your head up high.

    1. @mylittlesistercantbethisincestual disclaimer: I have not dealt with serious coding since I was a junior in highschool doing ap java. I haven't even done a casual coding project in at least a year so anything I might have messed up as far as processes go, that's why.

    2. @snowcone because the networking is extremely difficult. Think of all the data involved in this post alone. You have to sift through a lot more of that to get to the meat of what you're trying to do.

    3. @snowcone when has coding ever been that easy. Hell even sorting an areay of numbers isn't that easy

      1. @mylittlesistercantbethisincestual Eclipse makes it a god amount easier, but to my knowledge, it only work for javascript.

        1. @dropsterdash i hated the eclipse jdk with a passion. My pathways would never connect and it'd give me the dumbest errors.

    4. @snowcone unfortunately networking is on it's own level. Nothing is easy when networking is involved.

    6. @snowcone i don't know how much it costs. If it's $1000 it's probably not something i'm recommending. I had it payed for by my school
