Over time, the bot's growth has caused frequent outages where the bot has gone offline and unresponsive. I struggled to search for the issue, but I recently decided to tackle debugging head-on to find out what was going on. Because of my efforts, I finally resolved the bug! In short, there was a loop I was using to check the uniqueness of the suggestion ID before submission. Unfortunately, whenever there was a conflict in suggestion IDs, the loop would indefinitely run a piece of code, causing the bot's process to hang and go offline. Once I found out this piece of terrible code was the culprit, I rewrote it into something more performant and fail-safe.

This fix was a long time coming, and I introduced this code a few years ago. But never did I expect for it to come back and bite in the tail years later! I've learned a lot from this experience regarding debugging and noting how the code I write can affect how the bot runs. It's honestly a burden off my shoulder because I can focus on other things without worrying about the bot going offline multiple times a day.

Thank you all for your patience and commitment as these restarts and outages became more frequent. I don't know what I would be doing without your support. Take care!

A couple of months back, I saw several reviews with users complaining that they could not invite the Suggestions bot to their server through this site. I have been aware of this when it happened and finally got around to asking the staff about the issue. Because most importantly, it was affecting new bot users, bot with actually having the chance to use it and seeing the reviews on this bot that might turn people away. I don't want matters out of my control to affect you all, and I should have made this announcement back when the issue initially occurred.

With permission from staff, the removal of reviews stating users couldn't invite the bot from this site will occur per my request on said reviews. Oddly enough, I thank you all for informing me that was an issue in the first place via here, but I prefer you elevate matters like this in the support discord. Thank you for your cooperation and support!
