Discussion

 * Is it necessary? MiszaBot doesn't seem to have many problems with the load... Also, there are three MiszaBots for archiving, from the function summary it seems that you're mirroring all of them, am I correct?  Snowolf How can I help? 14:58, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It would not hurt anything to have some redundancy and load sharing. Regards, M ercury  14:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, it will use my template and may look at the existing template. M ercury  15:13, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Have you made this template yet? -- maelgwn - talk 15:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Your userpage could do with an update. Are you using Misza's code, or new code? -- maelgwn - talk 15:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Updated, and Misza's code. M ercury  15:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Clone of bot, Misza has no complaints, --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs (st47) 16:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

On crontab once an hour while the template has few customers. M ercury  13:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good :)  Snowolf How can I help? 13:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Note - Change to below, that it will not cron once an hour, but task will run 4-6 times daily, depending on load. M ercury  21:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * What do we want a clone for? Miszabot III does the job fine.-- Phoenix -  wiki  13:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * It harms nothing. M ercury  14:01, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * n.b. Redundancy is *always* good. Regards, M ercury </b> 14:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
