   • Note: a rather cryptic error can occor if you have 2 factor authentication enabled, bug report here
3. As the same user which was used to log into the script, go to the desired channel you wish to save and type !yank which will start the scraping process
4. If successful, the file should be saved in the directory you ran the script in as .txt
   • Note: This works with both server channels and private channels, however private conversions will save under the filename 'None.txt', while everything else will save under the name of the channel.
