We've Passed Another Milestone ..
Thanks everyone for joining us "On the Couch" as I say. We've been at this for over 6 years now - can you believe that? We've had a lot of folks come and go. We've gone from being free, to freemium, to being a Bot as a Service offering - which the support for has been tremendous. And I owe it all to all of you - the folks that have been around for years and the newly joined members. Without you all, this little bot of ours would just be something I tinkered with in 2015 when ...

Day 11 Of Waiting For Discord Support Response...
Due to the issues I've posted about in previous posts .. and at length in the support server .. I've unpublished the access tiers.If you are a Patron .. this doesn't impact you.If you arent a Patron .. you cant become one and use the bot until Discord responds and we can clear the issue up.I appreciate everyones current.. and future support.. just a bit of a bump in the road. We'll get over it in time!
Discord Access Issue ..
A few months back Discord approached all Bot Developers with a change they were making requiring whitelisting for specific access to endpoints they make available. I went through the process, got whitelisted on 1 out of the 2 endpoints, and thought we'd be good.The deadline rolled around, they went ahead and made the changes yesterday, and lo and behold .. I needed both of them.How does this impact you?- IF you already have the bot in your servers, all good. Nothing will change.- IF you don&...
