Scans a list of TCP servers checking checking which are currently online. This bot will send a chat notification when the status of a server changes (goes on or offline).

I originally made this bot to check if private World of Warcraft servers were up or not. It's actually much more useful than that and can be used for most servers.

NOTE: This bot currently does not have any UDP support.

The polling interval is how often the bot will try to ping the servers. A good interval is 10 seconds, but this may need some adjustment if it happens to be spamming notifications.
