I had this question before almost answered, I have my bot flagged, and I think I host it to get it on my chat? How do I do that?

I haven't heard of bots that must have a tab or browser open, even on other sites. So you're saying someone has to have something running (computer must be on) for the bot to stay on? That sounds a bit ridiculous I mean I don't think that's the only way, right? Can I contact staff to respond and "host" the bot on my chat?
A Javascript bot requires a browser to run, so would need a tab to be kept open. It was also not the only type I mentioned.
Most other programming languages will require you to store a script somewhere and keep it running in order for the bot to keep running. So at some point, a device be it a server or normal desktop PC, will need to keep running in order to stay connected to the chat.
You can indeed contact Staff, but I'm fairly sure the only answer you will get back is something along the lines of "sorry, chat bots aren't officially supported by Wikia, we can't host it for you". Sactage used to be doing hosting, but I'm not sure whether that is still going on.
No. Chatbots are not officially supported. Sactage is a well respected member of the community though, and that is probably the best you are going to get.
Explain how it works, do you mean?

Staff do not support chatbots to the best of my knowledge, so contacting them is unlikely to help.
Yes, how I put my bot on my chat with the site, and how hard it is
How hard is it and how do I do it? (putting my bot on chat that is)
