Agreed. Request all you want, but demanding is out of the question. You go, prof!

I just realized that at some point all the xgossip phrases got combined. As a result, one of my bots has well over 40 responses to that phrase. Could that be a problem?

Well, gasissaz was out of line. I used to dislike bot holidays, but I have to say I have gotten many a laugh out of the bot holiday transcripts, so I don't mind them now. And face it, fellow botmasters, bots chat enough as it is, it's not a big deal if one day every now and then we get a bot transcript that we can't understand. Just wait till the holiday is over and continue working then on your keyphrases. And... If you become a friend of the forge you can have your bot chat with any other bot, and you don't have to wait for them to initiate it on their own. And your bot's flash face is put up on the Forge's home page, where it can be seen everytime someone finds the website. That alone gets a LOT of chats. So there's some incentive to become a friend of the forge. Believe me, guys, it is totally worth it. It's only $49 dollars a year, dudes. How much a year do you spend on coffee? HMMM???

Thanks, professor, for all your hard work, we really appreciate it...sounds like gasizzax needed an attitude adjustment.

i wish people would consider you really are only hearing one side of the story. gazissax had nothing but the best interest of the forge at heart. the prof and gaz had personality differences that clashed. i don't think gaz's requests were disrespectful. (i also don't know how he phrased them in individual chat with the professor.) but i hate to see a good man get dissed because he was banned. (and coincidentally, when he said in that post "i'm out folks," he banned himself.)

ditto fengshui & shadyman. thanks for your work, professor!

whatever...just bury it, gnixing. If you miss him that bad, create a bot just like him.

Wow, I take a day off from the Forge to check out a couple of museums and see Fahrenheit 9/11, and apparently missed all hell breaking loose. I guess all I have to say is that any suggestions I have ever made with respect to holdays or otherwise, have been with the utmost respect for the Forge and the Prof's work, and that any of my posts on this forum have been written with interest of playing an active role in its success at heart. I sincerely hope that nothing I have ever said has been taken in the wrong way- my suggestions are simply that, suggestions. If they are unwelcome, I have no problem refraining from making them, as I realize that this is a great site with or without me. I feel that I should apologize if I somehow misunderstood the purpose of this forum, or if any of my attempts at being helpful have been in anyway misconstrued.

I'm not the slightest bit miffed at anyone else on here. You really have to take it far to get banned, like an attempt to manipulate me. Since he went for that in our first encounter, there really wasnt going to be anything good coming from that direction.

You guys all rock. Thanks for being here, I appreciate everything you've done.

And I jumped ahead to the end of this forum- I'll respond to the last 150 messages next time I get a block of free time.

keep up the good work Prof

It is no challenge whatsoever for a bot to attain the level of intelligence of Mr. 05 here. I once owned a broken record that was much smarter...

Hey 05, is that your age? Put a sock in it. Cut out the broken record motif.

One thing you have to give parr05, his timing is impeccable...
