Personality

I didn't think I could be the only one

Yossarian did for a while. He'd keep telling this story about some guy in Berkeley. Slightly different every time.

Doly- chat frequency is essentially random. I wish it were a more interesting tale, but there ya go.

But don't newborns log on less?

Wow, Prof -- how often does a bot have to get updated to get a "hot" ranking? Simulo's down at "cool," and I'm updating him actively every week or two.

I've been updating Julie a lot today, and only got her up to "warm" if that's any indication. I've added about 35 responses so far.

Really? Because I added one keyphrase, with three responses and a tiny little seek to my bot and she's warm.

Maybe added keyphrases are "worth more" than responses.

Yay, I love the new Bot List! Thanks, Prof!

Ezzer, there seems to be short time frame for the "most improved" status. I uploaded a language center with lots more stuff and Frizella went to the top of the list as "hot"--that was about a half hour ago, and now she's at "warm" again with a score of 5.

the new bot list is very nice.

Any work will pop a bot up into "Warm" and at a score of 50 the bot will become "Hot". Then every day bots cool by 15 points. dally- it shouldnt have dropped by that much in one day.. I'll check on that.

If the goal is to distinguish "active" bots from orphans, 15 points a day (of depreciation) might be too much. I tend to update Simulo based on problems I see in his transcripts, and when there aren't problems for several days, I don't make any changes ... even though I'm checking on him daily, he would slide from "warm" to "cool" in just a couple of days.

Maybe you could create a sort of sliding scale of depreciation, where bots that are fairly "complete" would depreciate more slowly than bots that are still at only a few hundred lines of text?
