[Feature Request] remove "Private Bot" to the mandatory pre-startup check about musicbot

[jagrosh]

This isn't going to be changed

The changelog should at least clearly state that it will shut itself down in these cases, instead of it just being more "warnings".
This is not a warning, this is a fatal the way its implemented.

Also why was it done this way in the first place? I mean showing a warning and denying support, ok, but why fatal in that case, when it doesn't even seem to be breaking in any way.
Also why so hidden? Properly announce it, and best also give a reason why, when it potentially breaks setups.

Another potential solution would have been to add a startup parameter or settings config to overwrite it, with the full knowledge of not getting support in that case.

@MrZoyo @sks316 @suchmememanyskill Since @jagrosh seems committed to keeping in this anti-feature, I've forked the project here and enabled support for non-private bots. I also need to use JMusicBot as a public bot because I share my bot with a small friend group, and I am not in all of the servers they are.

It's a shame, because this project is easily the best self-hosted music bot option out there and is otherwise very well made.

I don't need to disable the feature, just very annoyed that i found my instance bootlooping as my bot automatically updates, due to what is arguably kind of a dumb feature :/

I literally have no idea why Jagrosh added this anti-feature, it should be our decision whether we want the bot to be private or not.

@Steanky Thanks for letting me know, but I've also actually made my own fork already. I'm in a similar situation, where I share it with my friends but I'm not in all of their servers, and I feel the solution proposed by jagrosh (enabling it temporarily while the bot is running so your friend can add it) feels like an unnecessary hacky workaround to a problem that didn't exist in the first place.

I just wonder, WHY I CANNOT TURN OFF THIS... '-')

Every I try to save the settings, when I reload the page, that switch on again..
