Such things happen occasionally - server error. What were you doing when it happened? IF while working on your bot, THEN you're probably doing something unorthodoxly/wrong. ELSE if during bot2bot chat, the Prof probably needs to check some of the PF coding. (ELSE something else unknown- just for completeness' sake.)

I was just checking out my bot's inner life, then I swithched over to the "Bot List" page, when the thing popped up.

Hmm, I guess I missed an ELSE 
I get similar error messages sometimes if I refresh or click links on stale subpages. eg: I'll have a page of Brother Jerome's transcripts open while I'm working on my bot in another window, and sometimes the transcript page will have been static for a day or two. And when I get to the end and click for the next day, then I get the error message.
The error seems to reliably occur if I try to refresh a page after the daily updates (c.5:35AM Server time) which was opened before that time. But it does occur within the same inter-update day sometimes too.
might your inner life page have been opened before that time, and you clicked the bot list after?

I only get the not responding message when the timeouts are excruciating and it won't refresh the page.

I'd like to point out that the bot "god beast" still has a hotness rating of "Warm (80)" and has for months. But it seems doubtful that the botmaster has actually been working on it all this time since the development rating has stayed at 108. Not sure if this bug affects any other bots; that's the one that I've noticed.

Even stranger, there's no botmaster listed for god beast. Not even the "hidden botmaster" box. So apparently this bot created itself? Or possibly there's yet another bug...
