Dropped from race (will stay in bot despite votes):

• coffee (used as c>, will just be re-requested later)
• doge (frequently used by some)
• mustache, moustache (frequently used by some)
• hang (history)
• weather (used)

After dropping:

n = 45, Q3 = 6. Votes >= Q3:

awsm        color       convert     domain      findcommand github
inhistory   meme        norris      parse       timer       todo
user        zalgo

These commands will be removed.

@ralt And before that?

Okay, I'll agree to "deprecating" the ones who weren't pretty unanimously agreed upon. They'll reply with "This command is deprecated. If you really want it to stay, ping Zirak". We'll see what happens after a month.

Kinda sad to see zalgo, meme and convert go. Well, "go" -- I maintain a fork of the bot, so they're not actually going anywhere if I don't want them to. :P

I guess my "vote" (if I get one) on this issue from the SuperUser crowd is that you can go ahead and nuke all the commands you want, and I'll use my super duper magical powers of git cherry-picking to keep the commands we still want. Maintenance may get interesting if you start breaking core bot APIs, but we have some JS hackers on our side too, so we can probably figure something out.

you can't remove norris!
1: that command is just awesome
2:
a: he will look for you
b: he will find you
c: he will kill you

I still don't see the point of removing commands.

I kind of agree with @SomeKittens, actually. What is the purpose of removing commands? Is it just to clean up listcommands?

@SomeKittens, @ryankinal: Because some things like /github and /findcommand were just never used. Why have something nobody uses?

@allquixotic If you people are using removed commands, just yell at me. As said above, I did it for commands which seemed to never be used, so if they are...

I would love if convert were "easier" to use. It is a great idea but as is I can open a new tab and google faster. and doesn't parse get used internally? I never used the command but after peeking at it, might be useful for testing before user taught commands. I vote we bring parse back!
