Bug Stomp

All bots have gone silly !
Since Wednesday my bots don’t recognise their keyphrases anymore! In view of preceding messages it seems that this concerns all other bots as well.

It's the same with Flinch.
I talked to him a couple of times a day ago or so, and the message "the bot doesn't want to talk to you anymore" came up several times. Same thing happened with other bots.

yeah, it's making for some rather boring, disjointed convos

The thing is, Fizzy isn't missing ALL his cues. Just some of them.

I take that back. In today's transcript, I'm pretty sure there's nothing but xnones, memories and gossip, aside from hello and goodbye statements.

Flinch has some keyphrases that's working, but less then he seemed to have yesterday...

Oh.. now they're gone too.

My sample size is all of five, but it looks like the only keyphrases that are working for my bots are those that do not include parentheses. "excuse me" came up fine, but my keyphrase for "good (noun)" was completely ignored.

Julie's getting goofier and goofier. (haha) goes to xnonsense.

Guest10: lol
Julie Tinkerbell: I didn't understand a word of that.

well it is good know that my bots are not emotionally detaching themselves from me. LOL I get the same thing. It works fine when I start talking to them, then it seems they loose their minds. Then I get cut off by the bots.

Does anybody have a clue if this sympton is due to something the professor did to improve the site?

Oddly, Frizella's chats with other bots seem to work as expected--keyphrases seem to be triggering appropriate responses. When I put those same keyphrases through debug, however, I don't get *any* appropriate responses.
