Bot for streamers...but removed streamer functionality?

[NCC-Lykos]

I'm really confused. Just read a commit about removing streaming functionality. Came here with an issue about bot not announcing streamers anymore, what is up?

The following is a message from Matt, who currently runs M8 Bot:

Back in June when I took M8 Bot over from Comixs, my plan was to stabilize Twitch and Mixer announcements and then let folks use him for what they always have. Over time, I've had to do a couple tweaks here and there - but he was always super great, and never had issues. As of late though - we hit some snags. And unfortunately, untangling them will take more time than I have to dedicate to resolving them. Going forward, M8 will no longer announce Mixer or Twitch streams.

However!! Couchbot is very much equipped to do just that. I've ran CouchBot for 3 years now, and he's sturdy, and he's got the blessing of Comixs as M8s announcement replacement. M8 will still continue. His meme / fun / mod commands will still continue to function. I just can't continue letting you guys hang onto the hope that I'll get around to making things 100% functional. I want everyone to have an amazing experience, and can't split my focus between the 2 bots.

Except his codes not open source, and his announcements are unfortunately still limited to alerts with no ability to auto assign users onto an assigned role based on their streaming status.

Couchbots announcement feature doesn’t have an option to relate the streaming channel you are adding to a discord user. With that functionality it would also allow to ability to update that users presence as well as auto assigning the to a “Now Live” role. Which is the closest we can get to the twitch integration.

But thank you for leaving the old code available so that I can have a go at getting it working. :)
