Many questions are answered in the FAQ.
Remember a guest's name the next time he returns to the Forge? Can't be done with guests - sorry. When they return, they'll be allocated a new guest number, and there's no way of remembering any personal details about them - that's why they're encouraged to open an account.
Well, I say that... but, never being one to take "can't be done" for an answer, I know how I'd actually do it, if I had to (I'm afraid I can't be bothered, even with the considerable challenge it poses.)
I'd use an external javascript to lodge a cookie on the guest's computer. It would mean adding a hrefs to at least all your x-hello/initiate/introduce keyphrases, plus links from every keyphrase that references the relevant data, and some sort of off-PF database to hold and retrieve all the data.

Prob123: that would work fine for a user, but not for a guest. The Guest numbers are arbitrarily allocated, so guest240 one day won't be guest240 a couple of months later when that number appears. He might easily be guest71 the next day though 
I just found out something interesting..The ai will remember a guest for a while..I signed in as a guest..then out and back again..here is the transcript.
Guest167: my name is problem
Bildgesmythe: Ok, problem you are good ole problem!
Guest167: what is my name
Bildgesmythe: problem did you get a blow to the head, should I call a healer to help you?
Guest167: I am 222 years old
Bildgesmythe: I am a 1547 year old male dragon, I live in a cave. I am a lot older than you at 222,
Guest167: how old am I
Bildgesmythe: You were born in, I don't know.... Just about 222

It probably takes a couple of minutes to clear accounts from memory - in much the same way as people can still appear 'Online' after logging off. I bet it wouldn't remember you after 5 minutes.
Hey, 10 minutes later same results. ...Go figure

Bildgesmythe: Ok, problem you are good ole problem!
Guest167: how old am i
Bildgesmythe: Wow,, you are old. Just about 222

I think it may last 24 hours or untill the next guest 167 comes along
Bildgesmythe: (to Guest167) Get a new car for your spouse. It'll be a great trade!
Guest167: bad joke
Bildgesmythe: Did you hear about the guy with a map of Canada tattooed on his butt? Every time he sits down, Quebec separates.
Guest167: what is my name
Bildgesmythe: problem did you get a blow to the head, should I call a healer to help you?
Guest167: how old am I
Bildgesmythe: Gee,, you are old enough to figure it out yourself. Just about 222

I just went through the Chatterbox Challenge link and same thing
Guest167: hi remember me
Bildgesmythe: Glad to see you problem. I am so glad you stopped by.
Guest167: how old am I
Bildgesmythe: You were born in, and you don't know how old you are?.... Just about 222
Maybe it lasts untill the next three chatters knock it off the last three guest chat list?

The ratings are a puzzle. I have two bots with almost excatly the same number of lines, one is rated Dev:184 and the other is rated Dev:80. And the lower rated one has more AI, more levels of Seek, and some very complex (comparatively) coding. So why is the "smart" one rated half the other?

YES! It worked! Holy crap that was complicated! For future reference, that seems to be the only way to override xinsult with a seek. This needs to be published somewhere on the site for other people who run into this problem.
