Chewbotcca for Discord (Legacy) was the first iteration of the Chewbotcca Discord bot. It was written in Ruby using the discordrb library.[1] Its last commit was December 15th, 2018.[2] It was archived sometime after that.

History

Chewbotcca was a Discord bot written by Chew. Its initial commit was July 2nd, 2016.[3] It originally used to exist on Chew's personal account[4], until it migrated sometime after that. It was originally a bot for the GotPvP Discord server, as one of its initial commands refers to the staff members of the GotPvP Minecraft and Discord servers.[5]

The bot didn't become independent until July 6th, 2016 where the bot was rewritten with no references to GotPvP.[6] It was added to a bot list 9 days later on July 15th, 2016.[7]

During Chew's inactivity from Discord, the bot was marked as abandoned on October 6th, 2017, but was still accepting contributions.[8] It suggested users contribute or use the more active ChewbotccaIRC instead. Despite this, commits were still made throughout the project's "abandoned" state quite regularly. As a result, it was turned into an ad for ChewbotccaIRC instead 8 days later on October 14th, 2017.[9] The project was considered mostly inactive, only receiving 17 commits between October 14th, 2017 and March 13th, 2018.[10]

Chew's inactivity appeared to end on March 13th, 2018, where 9 commits occurred on the same day.[10] Additionally, at least one commit a day was performed between here and April 2nd, 2018, totaling over 100 commits within the 20-day span.[11] Commits continues stagnantly throughout April but stopped abruptly as there were no commits in May of 2018.[12] 51 more commits were performed throughout June through August of that year[13] before taking yet another hiatus, this time two months: September and October 2018[14] The bot received two more days of activity, November 13th, 2018 and December 15th, 2018[15] before its final commit was made.
