[edit]What is wrong with OverloadQBot? That seems to be working fine. And even if you were to run that bot, it would have to be continuous. Soxred93 | talk count bot 18:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Just for more information, there are actually two bots that clean the sandbox. Dreamy § 19:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- OverloardQ's been doing it a lot more recently, though. That just shows however, that another bot like that is unnecessary. Soxred93 | talk count bot 19:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- The other is Uncle G's 'bot. Dreamy § 19:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- OverloadQBot seems to be currently down. Either way I withdraw my request. I'm come up with a better bot idea another time. I apologize for wasting your time. Thank you for your input, Compwhiz II(Talk)(Contribs) 19:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- That's ok, it wasn't a waste of time. I learned that Uncle G's Bot is still working.
