Improved Language Center, Bot Workshop, and More!
I've improved the Language Center and Bot Workshop, added additional bot settings, and made several other improvements. You'll be seeing some big upgrades in the coming weeks. As with all upgrades, there is the possibility of bugs, so if you see one, please click "Report Bug" and let me know.
I've just completed some server maintenance that has increased the speed and reaction time of the site.
As you've seen, I've also been making huge upgrades to the site over the last month. I'll list all the details out in a couple weeks. I hope you've been enjoying them!
One thing those who were using bot templates will notice - I've removed those templates from circulation. What I ended up seeing is that people would import the bot templates into a new bot and then never use them, or only use a few. That meant the Keyphrase data was increasing by huge amounts but not benefitting the chat bots. There were about 3,000 bots with on-average 4,000 unused Keyphrases in them. I've removed these empty Keyphrases. They were often not optimal, tailored to a certain bot's interests, or otherwise not as useful as they could be. This also clears up the Language Centers of the bots that imported them enormously.
This is where the Combined Bot Template comes in - I've built this by hand, and made tons of improvements to the AI Engine in the process. Once this launches (shouldn't be long now), it'll be the best starting point for new bots and upgrade path for existing bots (should you wish!). Any work using the old templates is going to be deprecated soon.

I was wondering if there's going to be an increments functionality in the AIScript Programming language? It would be cool, as I have a really nice interactive feature in store for my bot, Giantess Nala.

Updated Export/Import Format - Better Gotos
I've updated the export/import format with IDs so that gotos are more dependable. Please back up your bot by doing an export with the new format. If you've been working on your bot offline, please get a new export and transfer your changes to that file before importing. As usual, let me know if you run into any issues.

New Custom Plugin Format: (p:plugin)
I've made a change to the custom plugin format to help the AI Engine organize, identify, and process plugins. Custom plugins should now all begin a "p:" so that they look like (p:plugin) instead of just (plugin). I've converted all existing plugins to this new format.

Security Upgrade Completed
I've just completed a large security upgrade that touched every part of the site. I've done some thorough testing, and everything I tried checked out. I'll be watching the error logs and fixing any that come up, but if you run across anything unusual happening, please let me know by clicking Report Bug or emailing me at benji@personalityforge.com.
I like the look and feel of the updated transcript page, had a few laughs reading back old transcripts, too. Thanks Professor!

Huge Transcripts Upgrade
I've complete a huge upgrade to transcripts. Now conversations are organized by users and searchable by UserID. Old transcripts from before the upgrade can be downloaded should you wish. There will be limits on transcript size in the future, but I need to watch usage to determine what they will be.
Nice upgrade to the language center, Professor! Would is be feasible to have something like that on the transcript pages where the KP and chosen response would be listed next to our bots output? Of course only my bots' KPs should be listed, the other bots' should be visible to the other botmaster.
I have been here a dozen times or so and am still lost, I kind of just go with the flow. If I have offended anyone it was surely not intentional. I don't seem to be able to tell a person from a bot or even if I am ment to. Never the less this is one of the best websites I have ever stumbled across.

Turing Tests Working Again
The Turing Tests had an issue and were offline for a little while. I've found and fixed the issue, so it's working again! When opening a booth, it's often a good idea to ask someone you know to participate, as it might take some time for someone visiting the site to try it.
How can I view all the total chats in a day? Its difficult determining how to build up a bot when I cant get all the responses.

Backup Your Bots From Time to Time
Remember to export your chat bot from time to time when you're working on it. This allows you to restore it should anything happen - be it a the rare server crash with data loss, or accidentally deleting Keyphrases or Seeks during development.

Data and Code Upgrade
I just completed a data and code upgrade. It touched on every part of the site. I did thorough testing and fixed everything I found (and fixed and upgraded many areas, too) but if you run into anything weird, from broken links to troubles with AIScript, memories, etc, for the time being please email me directly at benji@personalityforge.com rather than using the Bug Reporting tool. Thanks!

Massive Book of AI Updates
I've rewritten the Book of AI, documenting all the features added over the last few years, and reorganizing it to be easier to understand. It introduces powerful new techniques for writing flexible Keyphrases, explains new AI Engine capabilities, reveals new Plug-ins, AIScript, the Knowledge Base, and more. It's highly-recommended reading for all Botmasters. Enjoy!
