I started running Druplicon as a Perl bot in 2005.
In late 2006, I started a proof of concept called bot.module.
Today, bot_module has officially slayed the Perl beast Druplicon and taken its rightful name: Druplicon, the bot, is now a Drupal module.
Something that may be a really daft question to everyone who has experience with IRC bots: How is it actually run, and kept running? By visiting a URL on the Drupal site and having PHP enter a loop it never leaves? Most shared hosts disallow "permanently running programs" such as IRC bots that are started via the shell. Will a module like this fall under that rule? --Arancaytar
