I've basically got it all coded. I ended up going with a MongoDB database and instead of saving in memory at all, it interacts with the database so no data is lost.

I have decided to scrap this feature for a few reasons. One of the major ones being that sustaining that number of direct messages would prove impossible due to discord's rate limits. Another big reason being the few people that have utilized this feature since it was released.
