My bot says it himself... he's got memory problems! Seriously though, he hardly ever picks up on the xmem keywords. He has very few memories of his passed chats. I'm suspecting it's because I ended up using contexts such as "I am" with the "am" keyword, therefor over riding the memory keywords.
I don't know really, maybe it's normal, can you confirm this prof? If so, would you suggest that we avoid using "I am" anywhere but within the xmem keywords? But then, wouldn't "I am" be ignored during the chat, only to be brought up again later in memories?

I have the same issue with the xmem words. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen my bot use one of them. I also use "I am" and "you are" as contexts. (On the other hand, I don't use "I hate".)
BTW, Rahz, to answer your previous question, I use "not" as a context under relevant key words, rather than it's own key. Then again, I don't really know what I'm doing. My bot's database is in disarray. For example, I've noticed that I have the same phrase as a context under two different key words.

Generally it's a good idea to have "not" along with your contexts, such as "i am", followed by "i am not". Sometimes the Bots use "not" incorrectly when it's caught by "i am", for example. It's easier to track if it's not its own keyword. And I'd rank statements with "not" in it about the same as the similar one without it.
To trigger memories, make sure you have the right contexts- they're listed in the Book of AI. The Keyword used doesnt matter, just the context. Do a test and trigger an "i am" response from your Bot. See if it records a memory on you.
Since I wiped memory last week, there are very few around still. Here's how xmems come up: if no keywords are found, xnone comes up. Each time this happens, there is a 4 in 20 chance that an xmem will come up instead, and if one of those is triggered and doesnt have any memory in it, then it reverts to xnone. The more keywords you have, the less likely xnones and xmems will come up. Which is unfortunate, since they can be so fun. I'm thinking of creating compound Responses, where there are two:
The message: "I am feeling silly", triggers "i am" and "xmem" is randomly chosen and added on the end:
"You've been feeling silly for quite some time now. Arent you the guy who has a green hat?"

Hey everyone- I'm about to submit a list of Bots to The Bot Spot, which is a Bot resource listed prominently on Yahoo. (http://botspot.com/search/s-chat.htm) I'll submit a URL for anyone's Bots- I'm going to submit all of mine. Let me know if you're interested. You dont have to name your Bot if you want secrecy. I know pretty much who is who.
So... who wants their Bots to be listed?

Go ahead and do mine! It'll force me to perfect him... He's actually starting to make more sense. 
While you're at it, a links forum where we can store AI & Bot related links would be pretty cool...

Jbryanc & Roget: Alright, you guys should be good to go now! I created a function to find and delete orphaned Keywords, Contexts, and Responses. These were being found and then causing problems. But the troublemakers have all been deleted, and I've added routines to prevent new orphans from forming.
Jbryanc- your Bot knows booze and poet now.
Roget- everything should be working again for you.

Thank you prof.
I had given up hope on poetry and started to delete some of the related stuff. Things will now improve.
Also, under the impression that I could instil rules into my bot I said, NEVER hang up on the Professor. Sorry. She was also lying, or perhaps, I am not her boss.

They've got lives of their own. What can we do but guide them in the right direction?

For everyone who indicated that they wanted their Bots to be listed in the Bot Spot, I've sent your Bot's name and URL. Hopefully we'll get a response from them.

So there was little old Canadian me putting in "favourite" as a keyword. The obvious question arose. Does the word-cruncher thingy recognize it as the same word as "favorite?" eh?
