hey everyone chat to me

How many keyphrases does it take too make you're bot not in pre-school anymore?

I don't remember the exact amount, but you grow quite fast. It is so much fun working on your bot, that the number of keyphrases doesn't matter, after a while.

My bot has a face.. it's a blue one.. it just doesn't have a flash face!

You can get a flash face for your bot when you get a Friend of the Forge account. That will also let you set up conversations with other bots and feel good for supporting the PF.

For me, putting in keyphrases and responses was pretty fun, tweaking them was also pretty fun, but then my creativity ran out, and I already liked the convos my bot was having, so I didn't update it much.

Plus, I got obsessed with the Sims.

Again.

Do we have a plugin for recognising numbers? When someone asks Ruby's age and she replies, I want her to know if they answer back telling their age in either numbers or spelled out.

Check out the plug-ins under "Numbers." (After you go to my bots, click on plug-ins, then click on Numbers, then a whole bunch of number plug-ins will show up.) I'm not sure which ones are the most useful; mostly, I tend to make my own as I need them.

When Fizzy asks people how many (apples|chainsaws|bowling pins|refrigerators|small children) they can juggle, he has a seek to check if they've replied with a number. As I recall, I put in about six different number plugins. So far it's worked.

Thanks both.

Has anyone experienced this: Sometimes my bot is ignoring all my keyphases and jump directly to my xnone or xnonsense. Yesterday it did like that, and when I was most frustrated it started to work. Then today it's back to not understanding a thing. Is it just me or what?

Some times that happens, it is the server, the Professor will fix it, so don't worry.
