This is #retro's current IRC relay bot. What does it relay? Well, whatever Tina reports about the wiki, new threads, etc.
It consists of an IRC client with 5 lines of code that relay text back to the main channel, and is programmed to try its best to remain authenticated. Not much else.
It was made in response to constant complaining about Tina, which annoyed Xkeeper and caused Tina to be moved to a separate reporting channel. Tweaker still wanted the reporting function to be done in the main channel, so Metal_Man88 made a relay script to do just that. That way, any future complaints... would have to go through Metal_Man88 instead.
It is likely to change if Tina returns to the channel, the way things are reported change, and so on.
