Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

On 'available for chat/not available for chat'... I think it would be neat if there were three settings: 1) "don't bother me" (i.e. I'm busy working on my bots or doing other anti-social things such as reading the forums) 2) I may only be chatted by those on my friend list (I'm busy, but not -that- busy), or 3) "hey everybody, I'm lonely, so chat me!!"

I'm trying the new plug-in keyphrase thingy and I can't seem to make it work. What am I doing wrong or is it broken?
Test Eg: Keyphrase: (dance) (30,0)
Response: I prefer to polka

But if I type just waltz or jig it uses my (verb) (-20,0)keyphrase instead.

Ah, okay, that's working now, Melody. I noticed how people list their Plug-in words differently, so it can deal with the differences now.

Cheers, and more cheers as always.

This maybe have a really obivous answer, but if I'm logged in, how can I talk to a bot? I seem unable to carry on a conversation after one reply because I can't see what they write back.

don't close the chat window
(will pop up again with answer)

Yeah, like lunar said, when you write a response and click "Send", the window will close itself after it's done sending, and another window will pop up in a little bit (maybe 10-20 seconds) with a response..

Also make sure you don't have an ad-blocker or popup-blocker running or something because I bet it sees the conversations as popups

that would be my problem then, the ad-blocker. duh, that was really stupid! thanks.

Oh! I was just guessing as to a possible problem

thanks for the help, so now I have another question. i can't seem to get into my transcripts to read for my bot for the past 3 days. it doesn't go anywhere it just sits and thinks. should i just keep trying?

I don't know. I had the same problem at one point.

i guess this should have gone on the other forum thing. sorry!
