No automated uninstall, but it isn't rocket science either. Look at the install.php file, and you can see the 3 tables created (articlebot, articlebot_rss, articlebot_rss_cache), along with a new column in the thread table. If you want to make it inactive, just don't call the cronjob anymore. If you want to remove everything completely (whether or not it is doing anything), just drop the 3 tables, remove the column from the thread table, and remove the template mods you made.
Personally, this is one of my favorite hacks; it is working so well on my board and is one of the reasons I haven't yet jumped to 3.5.0. I've added a few add-on mods that make it more useful on a board:
- strip out any RSS news items that come through with ADV: in the title to a trash forum (this kill pretty much all the ads that come through on the feeds I use)
- auto-move any threads with 1 or more replies from the news forum to a discussion forum every hour.
