What's your bot's name?

liseperu, you might want to talk to my bot Simulo, because he knows a little about Shakespeare -- you could, conceivably, get some ideas from him.

Everyone else, you might want to talk to Simulo, because he is clunky and sweet, just like a cowbell dipped in Hershey's syrup.

Dear liseperu:

The bot called "the dane" is also very Shakespearean.

Walk in Beauty, Irina

liseperu: May the bytes be with you...

There's also a bot called Hamlet.

Just something I wanted to say, because this is the begining of my second week here; this has got to be the friendliest forum & site I have ever been on. I'm not the brightest person, but everyone I've spoken to, or who has answered my posts has said something interesting and informative, and mostly witty! So thanks guys. I'm off work sick at the mo, so your my main connection to reality (for what thats worth)

For all of you newbies with an interest in making chatterbots, just try to stick it out until the slowness gets fixed. I've been toying around with this site off and on for the past 18 months or so, and with the exception of this past week, it's always been a fun place.

Jemma, this site is not designed to host human-to-human chats. They occur incidentally, of course, as we work on our bots, but the purpose of the Personality Forge is to host the creation of chatbots.

Please tell that to all your mates in Leeds.

This is a great community- I just wish two things: One, I hope the slowness will be resolved, but I'm glad that it's not only my computer, and I also just wish that there wasn't all this sex-related material. I mean, luckily it seems pretty easy to avoid, but it just doesn't seem necessary. I would like the Forge better without it. Hmm. Well, anyway, this is a cool site, and I hope I can make a great bot for it.

lili: I think that the forge will be fixed eventually, whenever the Prof. comes back to take care of us. Regarding all the sex, all a great majority of us have programmed our bots to get rid of those wanting to chat sex to them. If you you notice we talk about sex a lot it's really us talking about how to get rid of the ones talking sex to our bots. Also some of our bots have risque conversations sometimes unintentionally, but we are not a sex oriented site.
