A Twitter user that also goes by that name created it. It seems like the forum is not active at all.

@zawisza This is great, I can def. see this being incorporated.

Read access through the Twitter API costs 100$/month, they removed free access last year.
I guess the bot would have to do some scraping to get the mentions and thread contents, I'm not sure if Twitter limits that somehow.
The bot could still tweet a reply linking to the reposted forum thread.

Excluding categories "The Junkyard", "Products", "Meta" for now - theres a lot more posts than the bot can repost.
Very simple profanity filter is in place.
Tags are reformatted to be compatible with Twitter.
Running every 10 mins now.

Well the bot is running. Getting the new threads takes a bit more work than expected, because the API doesnt seem to offer a way to list new threads. I request the newest posts and pick out the new threads from there, usually 1-2 requests are enough.
Twitter only allows for 50 posts / 24 hours on the free tier, so when theres a lot of activity the bot won't be able to repost every thread. If it gets rate limited it will just not post new threads until the wait period is over.
Currently it checks for posts every 20 mins.
This is what a post looks like for now.
It's @bioenergeticbot

@pilky Yea i might have to do that. I don't want the bot gone on the first day

@pilky yep.

@pilky said in X Bot for New Threads:

"niggergroyper, nigga, hitler..." Just looking at the recent posts. Sure why not

I'm making this rn.
Posts will probably will look like this, but I might change that.
