Many questions are answered in the FAQ.
Softball, ignore the cranks, but do read the book of AI. Memorize it. You still won't figure everything out. But don't worry about posting questions. This isn't a chat site, but it is a discourse community. We're supposed to be helping one another or at least not running would-be botters down.
Is this site dead? I notice there hasn't been any updates since July 2007, is it worth investing time in a bot? I'm worried the site is going to die.
The community itself is generally quite strong, DigitalV. The lack of updates by the professor has more to do with the fact that this site is his hobby and that he doens't always have time to work on it and maintain his other obligations.
Oh alright, sorry I did not mean to sound negative or anything, I just plan on spending a lot of time working on my bot and am making sure. Thank you for the feedback.
DV I don't think you sounded negative, but I guess that's a judgment call. That was the kind of question that could be answered. Prob123 is really very helpful. 
DV -- Bev and Corwin are good people, too. I'm good (albeit somewhat thick) people on odd days, but watch out for the even days. Specific questions are fine and likely to get answers. It's when people ask "How do I build a bot" that we start grinding our teeth. That's likely to get someone to say RTFM (I mean, read The Holy Book of A.I.). Good luck.
Hehe, it is nice to meet you Bev and The Clerk.
As for my use of the word "negative" I am used to getting chewed up for just about anything I say (World of Warcraft), so I tread lightly in new communities
Yes indeed, I love reading manuals, it's the first thing I do with anything new. Although many things are not in it, I have gotten some useful info at the AI forums.
I am stubborn when it comes to asking questions I make sure I invest a good amount of time before bothering folks. Uh oh, it is an even day 
! *ducks and runs*

We seem to be having several (or one with several names) people who aren't making bots but think this is a sex chat site. FYI, it isn't. Chat at the bots as you like, but don't try cyber sex with the botmasters. We're working on bots.
I don't mind being asked about the Forge, but I get weary of being hit on. I don't like to be rude, but it's going to come to that soon.
