Cardboard Box
Information
Cardboard Box is a Discord bot for my Discord server powered by Discord.js. It comes packaged with many utilities and fun stuff, and even some special moderation functions.
This bot is not suitable for usage outside of my Discord server! This repository is primarily for issue tracking and global management between my own devices. If you really, really want to run it yourself, read the sections below.

Don't want to run the bot yourself? Simply use this link to invite it to your own guild. If you prefer to run it under your own bot name, read the section below.

SharpBot, a selfbot for Discord was actually my source for most of these cool commands! Huge kudos to RayzrDev for making a cool selfbot.

This was initially an edit to GuideBot, the boilerplate example bot in Discord.js. It has some minor edits to the base code, but most of the basic stuff came from this very example bot.
