I wanted to try Telegram's new bot API, and thought "hey, let's do something like IRC's !randomporn!"
And this is the result:

So what can this bot do?
This bot does exactly what @TonyTheLemur's bot does on IRC: it queries e621 database for a certain tag set, and replies back with a random picture.
How do I use it?
If you're going to use it alone and you have Telegram installed in your current device, just click on this link: http://telegram.me/e621bot.
If you're going to use it on a group for extra lulz, select the group on the application, click on group's title to see group management screen, then click on "Add member" and write "e621bot". Click then on invite and you're done.
Once you've added it, just type "/furry [tags]" (SFW) or "/yiff [tags]" (NSFW), press enter, and it'll reply back with a random picture.
What's the purpose?
While you can use it on your own by privately asking it for pictures, the idea behind this was it being used on chat groups, therefore sharing the lulz of being absolutely clueless on what are you going to see.
What are the limitations?
It queries the DB without being logged in, so standard non-registered users limits on tag count applies.
Otherwise there are no limitations, it's able to use every tag and metatag ("favcount:", "fav:", "score:", etc...)
It isn't working!
Bot's running on a very cheap VPS (3€/year, go figure) and programmed in a language I am not used to (Python), so it's possible that the host has went down or that I've made a coding error. Feel free to report it here.
