Old first post

looking how old pobbot got broken and stopped showing players,
and after being asked by @Groshyr to try repairing the old one, I decided



and here it comes the FlDarkBot



... Some time gap later...



FlDarkbot returns with 3-hd remake from zero.

• It underwent a major refactorization and now reimplemented in golang with clean architecture for code scalability to add new features
  
• general stability added, because all errors are now handled way better with Golang approach that handles most of them at compile time.
  
• project saves ready for deployment docker images at docker hub
  
• fldarkbot has its own server now only for itself
