But...I don't WANT him to say botnames! I just want him to say 'you'!

Also, I don't know if this is just me, but my bot is interpriting "I like (botname)" as a compliment, no matter what botname is said.

Normally, if you put "[you]", it shows up "you" without the brackets, and without being changed into a random name.

When your bot responds to a compliment like that, it is because of the same issue. The other bot was trying to say "I like you," but substituted a random name instead.

yes the brackets show up with [you]

I'm getting the MSQL errors when talking to my bot. Do we know what's causing these things?

Not quite, probably somethign the prof's been working on

When the SQL error hits in the debugger, it clogs it up. How can I unclog it? Logging out and in doesn't work.

Well, the brackets used to not show up.

Any way that 'a/s/l' can be recognized? A/s/l as a keyphrase gets completely over-looked.

I think the / gets parsed out

Right. Zigactly. I'm just wondering if there's a way around that, since more than a few guests seem to be stuck back in the early 90's...

You mean more than a few guests are AOLers.
