Would the bot send PM or spam AG channel every time someone joins AG? I think both alternatives would just disturb people.

This would do the same without a bot. Hopefully they can implement something like that in the next WA version.

Isn't this enough:

Which one is more efficient, giving all necessary information at once without asking or requiring users to make the right questions to get info about TUS, for example?

Most newcomers can't even imagine that there might be a WA league so how are they supposed to ask a bot if there are any leagues? Help bot doesn't even know what TUS is

The message will be automated when you enter the channel.

Ye I know. I just replied to ZexorZ who asked if the current #Help channel and Help bot are enough.

If you can send the automated message on AG so that other users don't see it (not PM), then it's fine.

Yea it should work like a privat message for everyone who joined the channel.

noobot?

Newbot would sound cooler.

It's mainly a hosting issue => $$$. Detecting new comer is easy.

Could use current Help bot for this. CyberShadow controls it, right? Similar automated message like on #Help channel would not require much work I guess. Compared to Help channel, the message would include answers to most important questions (hosting, snoopers, TUS sites etc).

Senator and me were talking about this topic again and since it looks chanceless that anyone will provide us a server where we could run a bot for this purpose, we have came up with an idea that we could use a little program for this what the users who supports this idea could start when they are online.

So it's like you would start a little script when you start your computer for example that would do this spamming job. So there wouldn't be a dedicated server for the bot where it could run anytime, but we could run it on several computers which could provide that the bot would be online most of the time.

Of course this script would be designed that only one copy of it could be online at once, so if somebody would start it when somebody else already started it, then the newly started script would wait for tha already running one to stop. And when it would stop then the new would continue the job.

What do you think? 

surely there are easier ways to have an irc  bot 24/7?

I think i may host it on my VPS with UCVerse (only #UCian knows what is)

Heroku could be a solution if we use node.js

Instead of creating a new bot let's discuss how to improve the current Help bot to be more attractive to visitors of #AnythingGoes.
