README: Pinging Services

As a result of the constant posts on ping services, I need to get a few things off my mind.

Firstly, glitch is a free service. It isn’t cheap to run either way. Your constant pings are adding more strain to the servers. Effectively ruining the experience for everyone else.
pinging is gone, it did more bad than good so:

  • Stop with the posts, instead read the TOS or forum announcements
  • Stop trying to find a workaround, if you have a bot that needs to be 24/7 then I would move locally
  • Think about what damage you couldd do by pinging, a large flow of requests means that you are accidentally DDOSing glitch

If you have a problem with this, then perhaps you should leave because quite frankly it is quite selfish and it ruins development for us.
