Yah, I’ve been having this problem too with my instance of the bot too. I auth him, bring him online, and then make a post. Then I check back in on him a few days later and he’s offline. I think it has to do with the rtm being inactive for enough time that it shuts off. I’ll look into this.

looking into this next time i find some more time to work on this.

I don't know if this works for you (our instance doesn't run on heroku but a dedicated server), but what i have done to overcome this problem is make the app exit after emitting the ** The RTM api just closed message (at the end of brianwilliams.js) and then write a simple bash script that simply reruns it whenever it quits

There are probably nicer ways to do this within the app, but that one works (at least as a workaround) and is implemented quickly
