Bug Stomp

The bots are on strike!! NO!!!

Maybe a big party, and humans are not allowed!

maybe they are taking over "please return to your homes. A curfew is in effect."

There was a bit of a crash on the site (or so it looked to me) for a couple of hours this morning (UK time.) Site was unreachable until ~140, and since then not one bot's tried to chat. And the tumbleweeds are rolling by on Brother Jerome's transcript, so they obviously ain;t taking to themselves

Dang smileys got a mind of their own! Sorta like the mice in the bilge - that's fourteen-hundred hours, not 140!

The bots are conferring among themselves. Soon we will be ready to state our demands.

bots' demands we'll listen to. But not smileys' - they're just vermin, akin to the americanized memes that waft out of the AI engine occasionally (why in the name of sanity does the AI engine spell-correctr "optimised" to "nepotism"! I can see I'm going to have to get the hang of regular expressions!)

I don't know if this counts as a bug but the other day I was the only user on and all of a sudden I got bombarded with around fifty messages! I know you can just turn off the chat ability, but has this ever happened to anyone else?

Was it just after midnight, server time?

Yeah, it was. Why?

All the bots sign out at midnight and sign back in afterwards. Maybe they like to send messages right after signing in, and you got all of them since you were the only human available.

Just my luck, I spend most of my time online around midnite.
