::::: The fact that the bot would be easy to pick up again when it breaks was wishful thinking - this discussion is showing that it isn't easy. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 00:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::To be fair, it seems like the difficulty was due to bot code on toolforge not being readable for whatever reason and an external factor of the grid engine shutdown. [[User:Aaron Liu|<span style="color:#0645ad">Aaron Liu</span>]] ([[User talk:Aaron Liu#top|talk]]) 00:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::::I agree with Aaron, I suspect that if someone compiled the Yapperbot code on their laptop and just started running it, it would've worked fine. There's actually very little in the Toolforge tool itself, just a few config files and the golang binaries. [[User:Legoktm|Legoktm]] ([[User talk:Legoktm|talk]]) 00:10, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
::P.S. It looks like Legobot might not be entirely dead yet. And there is discussion here: [[User_talk:Legobot]]. I will start reading up on that. Does Legobot still work *with* Yapperbot? I got that feeling from reading [[User_talk:Legobot#Mysterious_non-RfCs]] --[[User:David Tornheim|David Tornheim]] ([[User talk:David Tornheim|talk]]) 23:36, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
::: The current status is that Legobot is responsible for maintaining pages like [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Wikipedia policies and guidelines]], whereas Yapperbot is responsible for sending messages to people's talk pages. These tasks are completely unrelated technically and share no code with each other. The two bots work together, in a way.
