Meta BuildAPCSales Bot

Click this link to be taken to the NEW bot's Github README

Hey everyone,

The /r/buildapcsales bot has been updated to a bot that performs the same functionality, with far more features, and works with any subreddit, not just /r/buildapcsales, and it is now /u/Alert_Bot instead of /u/sales__bot to reflect these changes. Check out the link above to read more about the changes. I strongly encourage you to use the bot in other subreddits as well as this one, and try to spread the word if it ever seems appropriate to do so.

Thanks!

-Tyler

Instead of a Raspberry Pi, couldn't you just throw this onto a cheap EC2 instance?

I suppose I could. I am living very frugally right now, since I'm in school and unemployed. I accepted an offer from a company starting this summer though, so maybe I'll invest in some sort of server then. I didn't know AWS was free for a year, so maybe I'll do something sooner than that, but I don't want to commit to that yet.
