gollark: If you want a similar hatchery you can just use my code; it's open-source!
gollark: Well, Braxatiel (I probably misspelt it…) did, actually.EDIT: did = did find the data
gollark: <@422448701588504577> Oh cool! I mostly worked off archive.org and convenient HTML comments.

gollark: - EATW was according to everyone taken down due to the viewbombing.- I used archived EATW data to prevent sickness/viewbombing in my hatchery.- TJ09 eventually noticed and IP-banned my hatchery so it stopped working and took all the eggs out automatically (that is a *slight* bug).- The email I got said *… did the same thing that got EATW banned from the API".- But presumably it just shut down due to viewbombing and not lack of API access…?
