News
The dAhub bot will continue to be down through the end of August. A new dAhub bot (v2.0) will be released in September that will process the backlog of activity and open up new [services]
Details
I have not had an opportunity to update the current bot and will not be able to do so for the next two weeks. The most efficient option is to simply process all activity (including all the backlogged activity) once the dAhub v2.0 bot is operational which should be by mid-September, but likely sooner.
I apologize I will not be able to hold up my promise to get the bot operational this week. All donations will be processed normally once the new bot is operational and a bonus will be added. However, if you have already donated and absolutely need a refund, you may send me a note with the title "Refund" and include the date of when you donated and the number of points donated. I will refund your entire donation if you have not yet been featured, or your remaining feature balance if you were featured when the bot went offline. My time is limited and I will be issuing refunds by hand, so please only ask for a refund if you absolutely need one. All donations currently waiting to be processed that are not refunded by the time dAhub bot v2.0 goes online will be processed normally and a bonus will be applied as an apology for this extended downtime.
Again, all activity (comments, notes, donations) that has accumulated during the past week and during the coming days will be processed normally once the new bot comes online in September.

It is the owner of the bot talking. The bot is not operational at the moment which means that are updated currently on the account must be done by hand.

My father is a computer programer, and is one of the top ones for IBM, and from him I learned that programming and writing script and such can be tough and time consuming. I hope that you relax and don't stress too much about this, but wanted to thank you for taking it so seriously. I will leave a comment on the hq later
Goodluck! Will be waiting on the return

Although the bot does need a break, it deserves one.
I hope its well rested!

I think dA needs to have the third party communication. And if that happens maybe the site can learn from this.

Okay. Good luck on fixing your bot.
I will wait.
I might be offline on August 21, because I don't know my school bans FF or DA.

Two days ago there's was a big problem with spambots creating galleries and immediately posting journals filled with spam ads and porn links.
I even reported a lot of them. Obviously changes in dA's security were made to stop these bots, but it never occurred to me the dAhub's bot would be affected too

Thank you for letting me know about this. If the staff are responding to a specific threat, that makes a bit more sense.
Well, overall it's probably for the better, I just wish the staff could give some warning when they are do something significant like this.

Yeah, I can understand how a head's up would have made things a lot easier for you.
I personally think they panicked a bit. It all happened really fast and those spam bots were creating tens of accounts each minute, so I think they had to do some drastic countermeasures.

Do you have a link to some of these spam accounts/journals? I'd like to see what you're referring to if possible.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Thank you for the links. You are right, some of those aren't terribly appropriate, I'll hide your comment for the time being until dA can respond to the matter.

Well, all the accounts I reported got zapped immediately, so none of the urls I have are active anymore.

It's so nice of you to re program the bot even though there's nothing obligating you to do so. We all thank you for your time and effort!

That is very unfortunate to hear.
Thank you so much for your work on the bot, you are in no way obligated to continue your service, so I think most of us appreciate the time that goes into it. Best of luck with the fix and I'll do my best to put a word in when hq makes the next update!

What terrible timing. I wish you luck with fixing the bot.
