====== What is forkb0t? ======
forkb0t is a b0t. He is a fork of snackb0t, based off "snack v1" (Python snackb0t). Though he originated as a joke, his life was extended "temporarily" while snackb0t was recreated in Java. His existence continues while "snack v2" (Java snackb0t) is proprietaryware.

forkb0t has evolved a great deal since his creation. The main difference from "snack v1" is that forkb0t is now plugin-based. This was done to ensure that his features are more or less b0t independent. The goal is to make plugin interface as generic as possible, so that plugins can be loaded by another b0t (such as Java snackb0t) with ease.

Ask krushia if you have any questions.
