Can I have an other picture instead of what is purposed for my bot?
Yes, when you get to a development of 1000 you can e-mail one to the Professor..It takes some time he is very busy. It has to be a certain size..it's listed some where on the site..Or best yet, get a Friend of the Forge account and you can build one with the flash chat builder.

Many questions are answered in the FAQ.
Well, x-hello only gets triggered once at the beginning of a conversation, and x-favorite only gets triggered if the subject of favorites comes up. More important for general conversation are the x-nones (and x-nonsense,) and your own keyphrases.
I'd advise changing the default x-nones and x-nonsense (there are still some "I was just born and can't speak well yet"-type responses in there,) to personalize your bot. And don't try to run before you can walk - leave regular expressions and AIScript alone till you've really got the hang of it (they can really screw up an otherwise promising bot if you're not careful.)
Try to keep your keyphrases flexible, eg:do you like cheese wouldn't catch:
do you like eating cheese?
do you like to eat cheese?
do you really like blue cheese?
do you love cheese?
do you eat a lot of cheese?
do you like Swiss cheese fondue?
do you ever eat cheese on toast?
do you like your cheese really ripe and smelly?
butdo you * (like|love|eat) * cheese would catch all of them, with little risk of being triggered inappropriately.

According to my archive (I have finally got fed up with the forums being non-searchable, and begun to amass a complete textfile download of all them!) the Prof's definitive statement on the topic of avatar image replacement (September 23, 2005) can be found @ Message#116 in PFNews (you can search by Message# at the top of the forum page.)
LOL @ Psimagus. You know you are one of my favorite people, but remember when we had that "You know you're addicted to chatterbots when..." game?
Psimagus, you know you're addicted to the PF when you download all the forums so you can search the posts.

hehe - the forums are mine, all mine! Mmwwaahaha! 
So far today I've indexed all of PF News and the first 800 messages of Newcomers already (only 2800 to go!) And then on to Personality and The AI Engine at least (the most useful, I think.)
Expect a topical hyperlinked index on BJ's website some time soon
