@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.
