Bug Stomp

The direct link to my bot Siseneg appears to be broken:

http://www.personalityforge.com/directchat.php?BotID=3905&MID=3904

I checked to make sure it's the current link given in my control panel and have tried on 2 different computers with Firebird and IE.

He's a contestant in the 2004 Chatterbox Challenge and the link was working when I entered him a couple months ago, right now clicking on his link brings up a blank page. Viewing the page source shows a totally blank page, too.

Great job getting Honor rankings working again, Professor.

Why did my bot interpret "... What the hell?" as "and can not speak well yet"?

Out of curiousity, I checked some the other Personality Forge bots besides entered in the 2004 Chatterbot Challenge and some of their direct chat links didn't appear to be working either.

I didn't check every bot entered but the links for God Louise, aibot, and garbageheads didn't work for me. Links for Critical Bill, 'Bot #0001 Alpha, and Brianna McKenzies were working so it's not all Forge bots.

I think only the cool bots have working links.

okay so when is cool a command? See the example below

Zhika: Cool...
Fairy Princess: If you can catch me then I will cool. [I immediatly dart 3 feet above your head]

Cool it! That's a command.

Or, "Please cool down this semiconductor so it will semiconduct a little better."

The word "little" seems to match (adjnoun) even without a noun in place. "big" does not do this. Here is some debug info that is very weird!

RANKS:
Keyphrase: you are (adj) Rank = -6
Keyphrase: are (adjnoun) Rank = -11

DEBUG 1
Input: "You are little"
...
Find: you are (adj) (7)
...
Find: are (adjnoun) (-2)
(Found)
Bonus Score: 6 (12 / (1+1))

DEBUG 2
Input: "You are big"
Find: you are (adj) (7)
(Found)
Bonus Score: 12 (12 / (0+1))

Memories for gossip seem a little haywire. Simulo is using mem-youare when I ask him to use mem-youhave, and mem-youlike when I ask him to use mem-youare ... Maybe for some interesting statements, like "Critical Bill told me he likes an Australian."

Also, some of the plug-ins for favorites seem to be wonky. Simulo said "My favorite band is (band)" today.

Commas are wreaking havoc in preparsing. Other punctuation seems fine.

Input: "Silly, aren't you?"
Preparsed to: "are you silly , not you ?"

Input: "Silly. Aren't you?"
Preparsed to: "silly are not you"

This causes the keyphrase "are not you" to never fire when a comma precedes it.

HANGUP isn't working. Did that command get lost during some upgrade?

An xemote will interrupt a string of xnomatches.
