Bot Contest

good luck

Tomorrow is only the deadline to enter. From what I recall from past years, it may take a few days to interview all bots.

<+2>Good Luck and Good Chats to All!
<-2>(whenever the chats may be)

Good luck everyone!

Everbody best of luck! ha!! I was different I didn't say good luck! ...DOH!

May all your bots use not a single xnone or xnonsense when the judges chat with them.

when does judging begin today? has it already begun? when do we get da results?

The contest takes some time. It would be best not to expect anything for about a week. I dont know who's doing the conversations this year but traditionally it's quite a feat getting all the volunteers to do it.

In regards to the garbage posts, Dogh'd's page is full of them too. Last year I put up a site with an open guestbook, and it only took a couple weeks for spam-bots to find it and post web links and ads all over it. It looks like in this case the links and ads didnt make it into the post.

all the comments ive seen of peoples bots have things like 'great site' 'good site' 'well done admin!' what do they mean? a whole week of traumatisiz?! i see.

At least they are positive?

I keep getting these guest chatters today (4 or 5) who ask my bot the same question over and over. I hope they aren't the people asking the questions because that's quite unprofessional.

Mel, no those are not judges. I was a judge last year and you ask the questions in order, and you do not repeat. Those are probably kids.
