RightGIF is dead. Long live RightGIF. The /gif command will no longer work from whenever we switch off the server...maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day.

On a personal note, RightGIF was a neat side project that never got the time or attention it deserved (I've been busy trying to earn a living) and has slowly degraded over time. It's sad to see it go, but go it must.

GIF search is still shit on nearly every platform, and I hope one day to revisit the problem. Or not. Who really knows. For now though...

Hey cool news! Our database provider finally agreed that the problem was at their end! RightGIF is back. Apologies for the lack of quality GIFs over the past 24 hours.

Our database is inaccessible but our provider says it isn't. We're now debating the definition of "accessible" in the hope that it fixes it.

Our database crashed... but it's Sunday morning and I'm a little hungover. Give me a minute ok.

We apologise for the recent errors with RightGIF. We believe the remaining issues have now been resolved and the responsible parties have all been fired. We appreciate your patience in this matter.

Ok, so we found the server login and fixed some stuff. If you're still getting a bunch of errors, let us know and we'll look at it in a year or two.

the giphy integration is actually part of Slack and follows different rules sadly :(
If you're still experiencing issues with @RightGIF, please try money. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it does buy server RAM

Yes. We broke things. We’re not proud, but we are trying to fix it…
SORRY FOR BREAKING ALL OF THE GIFS. IT IS ALL OK NOW. I PROMISE

So that didn’t work… we’re looking into it
Ok done! If you can still get GIFs, we didn’t break it!

We’re about to do some DB maintenance. If things go pear shaped, I’m really sorry!

We've removed the new delete feature, we'll reconsider it with the addition of a poll or something....
