What I want to know before I buy a VPS, is if continuing Holly is worth it, and what I mean by that is, do the admins and community trust me (and the bot) with performing these tasks? I am aware that the changing of seasons is leading to a bigger need for chatbots, causing more, often times inefficient bots to be hosted and promoted by admins who are likely more trusted.

What do you think? I am open to suggestions, and I wish to hear your feedback. All I wish to hear is that paying for Holly's hosting is worth it and that I won't be replaced by someone less experienced or knowledgeable simply because they are more trusted. In essence I want to be the technological overlord and all much bow down to my gigantic ego. In essence I want to pay to keep this place's chat covered with something that is known to work well, and to be able to not have my money wasted until I decide to cut funding in the course of... well... I'm not really at the liberty to say... Lets tackle the first paragraph. Holly is worth it. No matter what you say. Lets be real, I have landed some bans from her. But hey, shes a bot. We don't expect her to be perfect. She's been incredibly useful in the chat, and I don't know where we'd be without her. Please keep her on. For our sake.

Paragraph two. I know it seems unfair. But to be honest all the bot does is log. It not a technical threat to Holly, it can't even do half of what she does. But they are equals. They both do the same job. To think one is higher or lower than the other is a breach of trust and respect. Like I said before, bots aren't perfect, but I for one am incredibly grateful for both bots and what they do, and I'd love to have both on board, no matter who operates them. Its not a matter of experience its a matter of trust.
