Yes, although your bot didn't realised it had said goodbye, so was still looking for things to respond to. I'm guessing only an xgottago causes a hangup. Both bots responded with an xgoodbye, each thinking they were responding to an xgottago. When both another response they just kept talking. That's just speculation on my part, but it seems to make some sense.

Well the other bot said goodbye too, and my bot's xgottago was fired because it. There were three "bye" messages in a row, and still no hangup. Actually, I've seen it happen in other cases as well, I think.

Are keywords case sensitive? Because I think in one instance he should've responded to the word "expert", but it was "Expert" and he didn't. Is it case sensitive, or is there another problem?

I haven't known it to be case sensitive. Maybe there was something else that outranked your keyword. (Not that I'm an "expert". )

I found the problem... For some reason, the keyword wasn't there, even though I could've sworn I had added it.

With all the problems we've been having lately, I wouldn't be surprised if it "forgot" it was supposed to be there. I still have no idea where Wednesday's transcript ran off to.

genn... your maker needs to read the book of AI quickly...
This won't work

I tried to fix that not-ending-after-goodbye problem a few times already. I just made another fix that might work. HANGUP wasnt an intended feature- I wrote it as an internal marker, but it works as a Response as well.

I'm considering changing the database again. This time to MySQL. For some reason the SQL Server database has bloated up to over a GIG, which is madness since before the import, it was only 80 MB in Access. So the hosts want $80/month for it, which I cant do. So there's a chance I'll be doing that in the next day or three.

Will that mess anything up? And is it possible the new database would make responses and such faster?

I'm sure there will be bugs, but I'll sqash them ASAP. And my hope is that things will be faster, but there's no way to know without trying it.

There shouldn't be as many bugs as from going to SQL from Access

Crap Crap crap carp Crap CRAP CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

I just spent all day converting the database to MySQL hoping that it'd be faster and bugless but it's 5 times SLOWER than SQL Server! I want my day back!
