Ugh! I've spent a while learning C++, with the idea that this certain ColdFusion host will allow .exe files to run on a shared server, and I find out this morning that it DOESNT. I'm sending email to all the CF hosts I know, but I think it's not going to be likely. Dedicated solutions run in the $400-600/month range when you add in ColdFusion and SQL Server. I guess I'll have to wait to win the lottery if I'm ever going to reinstate all the advanced language and emotional features of the forge. 
Rahz- I'll totally take up your offer on the OS X interface when the time comes for that. Thanks!
Forest- You can press Export now, and I think you can even download the Language Center backup. I think. I know it's safe.

Prof, what about about making the AI engine an independent application, that allows us to update and test our bots off line? I mainly say this cause it would free up the web server (which would end up just being a simple newsgroup/chat server that's compatible with the bots - just as the forge is now, minus the bot developement tools). We could download updates to the "engine-app" whenever you make them available. I think having a whole computer's power just to run one user's bots would give you more liberty to program advanced features, like emotions and enhanced sentence analysis... I'm sure you've considered it already... so what are your thoughts?
That sounds cool. How would the bots log on when we aren't arround, though? For those of us with always on internet connections (yay universities) the bots could connect to the internet and log themselves on like any other user, but for those that aren't so lucky the bots could only chat when the user is either in the forge or explicitly gives the bot permission to log on.
True, it would be best if the bots still had the liberty of logging on whenever they felt like it, if possible...
hubbyd, you may want to go through "The Book of A.I." to get an idea of how to make your bot-building experience worth it's while...
