The Discord sticky message bot that keeps a message at the bottom of your channel

You wrote the rules once. You pinned the giveaway link. But Discord's pinned-messages list is hidden behind an icon nobody clicks, and a normal message you post just keeps sliding upward as people talk. In an active #general, anything important is invisible within a minute.

The manual workaround is to keep re-posting it yourself — which clutters the channel, pings nobody usefully, and still leaves a gap every time the channel goes quiet. A sticky message automates exactly that re-post: the bot keeps your message glued to the bottom so it's the first thing every member reads, not the thing they have to hunt for.

Be clear on the mechanic, because most "sticky" bots work the same way and few of them say so: a sticky message is a re-send-to-bottom message, not a native Discord pin. When someone posts in the channel, Billboard deletes its previous copy and sends a fresh one underneath, so its message stays the last thing in the channel.

This is *not* Discord's built-in pinned-messages list — nothing lands in the channel header, and nothing shows up under the pin icon. If what you actually want is a true entry in Discord's native pin list, that's a different feature; see the Discord pinned message bot page for how that works and when to use it instead. For "keep this where people will read it," sticky-to-bottom is the better tool — it sits in the live conversation, not in a menu.

A plain sticky bot does one thing: re-post a fixed blob of text to the bottom. Billboard does that too, but it's built on a different core — a billboard is one bot-owned message the bot edits in place, cycling through ordered "frames" (full markdown, rich embeds, and images) on an interval. No new message is sent on each rotation, so there are no pings and no spam in your channel history.

For a single sticky note, that means a clean, embed-formatted message instead of a wall of plain text. And when you're ready for more, the same billboard can rotate through several frames — rules, then the current event, then support hours — all from the one sticky message at the bottom. You get the best of both: it stays where people read it, and it can say more than one thing without ever flooding the channel. That restraint is the whole point of an announcement bot that doesn't spam.

Setup is guild-only and gated to Manage Server, so only admins and trusted mods can run it. Create the billboard with pin:true (that's the sticky / resend-to-bottom switch), snapshot the message you want to show as a frame, then activate it. For a static rules note one frame is all you need — it won't rotate until you add more.

To grab a message_id, post your rules text in the channel first (or anywhere), turn on Developer Mode in Discord, right-click the message, and choose Copy Message ID. Billboard snapshots that message — markdown, embeds and all — into a frame.

If editing message IDs by hand isn't your thing, every command has a point-and-click equivalent in the web dashboard. You build frames in a visual editor with a live Discord-style preview, toggle the sticky behavior with a switch, pick the channel from a dropdown, and hit save — no Developer Mode, no copying IDs.

The full walkthrough, including how to invite the bot with the right permissions, is on the step-by-step tutorial. Most admins set their first sticky message up there in a couple of minutes, then switch to the slash commands for quick edits later.

Anything a member needs to see *right now* without scrolling belongs in a sticky message. It's especially good for the stuff you're tired of repeating in chat.

One thing worth knowing up front, because a less honest page would hide it. Discord blocks edits to any message older than one hour. Billboard's normal mode edits its message in place, so for billboards rotating slower than that this never comes up.

But if you run a very fast billboard — under 60 seconds between frames — the bot can't keep editing the same message forever. So roughly every 50 minutes it automatically deletes the old message and reposts a fresh one, then re-applies the sticky behavior. This is expected, the bot handles it for you, and it doesn't affect normal sticky notes at a sane interval. There's more detail on the edit limit and other edge cases in the FAQ.

The sticky / resend-to-bottom behavior is free. On the Free plan ($0) you get 1 active billboard per server, up to 5 saved, 5 frames each, a 60-second minimum interval, and basic live variables ({server.name}, {date}, {time}). There is never forced branding — Free or paid, the message is yours.

Pro ($4.99/mo or $49/yr per server) is for servers that want more: 10 active billboards, 50 saved, 30 frames each, a 10-second minimum interval, member-count and boost variables ({server.membercount}, {server.boosts}), and schedule windows so a sticky only runs on the weekdays and hours you choose. Downgrading never deletes data — anything over the Free limits simply pauses and resumes if you upgrade again. You can also earn temporary Pro just by voting for the bot. Full breakdown is in pricing.
