Is there a way to use a custom discobot timeout time?  
the bot is currently pinging users 10-15 minutes after they don’t talk to the bot and it is freaking people out.  
customizing it to say 24 hours or such would be helpful.

Well, it’s supposed to be a fairly interactive back and forth semi-live chat. So the timeout is generous in that context.
