ok, so forgive me, that was a deceptive title...
but really, they are kinda dying, in a way. At least the IRC one is.
As of today, the Kitbot on IRC is no longer alive. It was being hosted on Heroku, which was charging me $17 per month for service. I decided that starting this month I will not pay for it anymore. It can operate on my own servers, but it will not, right now, since before I bring it back to life quite a few things need to be changed in the code.
Anyway that's what is going on. The Kittybot on chatango is still alive, as are selebot and racbot, IDK what is going to happen with those in the long term.
Coder X has been chatting with me about the possibilities of a much better "bot" operating system, but anything like that takes a ton of work. At the moment the kittybot and kitbot are two completely separate systems, with different codebases, and different ways of storing information. Totally incompatible, and neither of them are particularly great from a programming perspective.
We'll see what happens, but the point of this forum post is to notify you that the bot on IRC isn't offline by any accident.
Kitteh over and out
