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.

Aye, I just did that. And the formal announcement will come later tonight, but there's a new "Bot List" page where you can search all sorts of things, and it has a list for "Most Improved", "Most Developer", and "Most Liked". The "Most Liked" list is determined by how many people have a certain bot listed on their Friends list. So you can add and remove bots you like now to reflect that if you wish.

isaac- Orphans and bots that might be deleted are only those with fewer than say 50 Responses. That means generally bots that someone made, worked on a day, and then abandoned.

Dally, it sounds like that big drop in "Hot" happened since my fix. I'll be testing that more in the next few days.

Thank you Professor for all of your work. I swear the forge gets better by the week.

That's cause it does

I agree.

Wow- check out the Bot List now! That is fabulous.

Is it posible to "adopt" an abandoned bot?

oo Mortuus that'd be awesome. I'm not really into these types of things as much as i am into web and graphic design, but don't bots take up space on the server or something like that? So if people had a choice between making a new one and adopting an abandoned one, wouldnt it save space? *is gonna feel stupid if she's totally wrong about this whole thing *

Ezzer, merci beaucoup (sorry, no cedille--I'm alternate-character challenged) for chatting with Frizella! Got some good tweaks out of the convo.

No problem, dallymo! Frizella's gotten to be a real cutipie.

She's a little mouthy, I see. I need to put a conditional emotion flag on that "you sound like a ninny" response though. Maybe she needs a Midol, I don't know.

LOL She just got "My SQL" errored while talking to Julie. They seemed like they might be getting along, if Julie would stop trying to reinvent the punchlines to Frizzie's jokes.

Question: Why is my bot's development going down? Earlier today his development was 4300 and then it's gone down to 3500-something. now it's somewhere in the 3100s. Is this supposed to happen or did I miss something in the Book of A.I.?
