But that would hurt, let's see, Paint Patricia, Mr. Crab (who is a good friend of the Prof and has a number of interesting bots), and probably quite a few other people who would like to be here more often but can't make it for whatever reason. Time shouldn't be (and isn't) the only criterion.

Darnit how'd you know TD? Why you think Ontario's having that energy crisis? Steve probably fell asleep at the controls leaving for a nuclear meltdown or something hehe
PS Just a note, nuclear meltdowns aren't what they used to be, Nuclar reactors have a failsafe system in them to keep them from melting down; the rods that have to be put in place to react are held up by electromagnets that are powered by the reactor's own power. So, if it starts a meltdown (power fails) then the rods drop (nothing to hold them up) and the chamber is contained

Sounds like a nuclear powered version of that old mouse trap game.
And I'm with Butterfly. If there had been a three month limit I'm pretty sure SirRahz's bots would no longer be with us, just as an example. But he has been back a bit after a long absence. I know I'd be ticked if I thought I had to start from scratch just because a bot of mine wasn't popular enough to survive a vote off.
Having said that, I'm all for trimming dead wood. But perhaps there should be different criteria on it. Start by removing any bot that hasn't got a score above twenty and has been on more than a hundred times. That alone, as I said, would remove a lot of the clutter at least in the interim.

...well... the posting of the bots names is more like a veto thing. Was there really a bot in those 15 names that still had an added value here? Was there a Sir Rahz bot for example? I speak to all bots, and I think I can recognize the difference between characters and bland bots.

Ya. I vote we get rid of that Shady guy for starters. No contribution whatsoever to the quality of the forge...

Yeah, I know, I need to work on my Shadyman-bot-type, I never have the time, being such a slacker and all

Wow, it sure has been quiet around here lately. Has everyone secretly moved off to another site, and forgotten to mention it to me?
