the Anitrox project was formally discontinued on January 30th, 2024.

Anitrox was shut down on October 23rd, 2023. Development is now permenantly ceased and support is no longer available. You will no longer be able to make merge requests, or open bug reports on the bot.

Building on from here.

You can still fork the bot, and do whatever you'd like with it. We'll be shifting from the GPLv2 license to the MIT license with this change.

Why now?

I've been becoming increasingly frustrated and unhappy with Discord as a service and platform, and have no desire in putting any more time into something for a platform I quite despise at this point. If you look at the last commits, There hasn't even been any active development for on going on months at this point. I've also been shifting my focus on programming towards other things, which has also been contributing to the lack of further development.

Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the bot, weather you contributed with code, a bug report or helped work out an issue, thank you.
