what do you mean?

LM, I was playing with something I shouldn't have played with, and it made the forge go all wonky. I won't tell you exactly what I did, because it's bad enough I did it. we don't need everyone one else playing with it too. Besides, it was an honest error on my part, but other people reading this may just start doing things to be annoying.

I wouldn't go blaming yourself, if only because I have a spookier numerical coincidence that links me more closely to the problem.
On Monday, my honour rating reached exactly 32,767 - coincidentally exactly the same as prob123's (and curiously this is exactly (2^15)-1, or 2^15 if you include zero,) and what happened the next day? No server update, all the bots stopped talking, x-noneitis appears to be rearing its ugly head again, etc.
Strangely today there was a server update, and BJ's development grew by a few hundred, but my honour is still 32,767 - just like Prob's has been for some time now (presumably this is "Maxed out" - we've overflowed a buffer somewhere, or something!)

I doubt there's actually a connection, but it's a spookier coincidence than yours

then why did you do it bev

I'm not entirely convinced that was the cause, Bev. I think it may have been just a coincidence. These things have happened before, remember. (server down, x-nonitis, not able to access the forge, transcripts not registering- ect). I wouldn't be overly hard on yourself.

i had a confosation with my bot today and it put it in yesterdays transcripts!

It probably wasn't me after all. It just looked very freaky from my end. A little post hoc fallacy can happen to anyone.

And LM, I tried it because I think that if it had worked, it would have been very cool. If someone had asked Gabibot "Who is Xena?" a clip of the Intro to the TV show would have played. I just thought the chat screen would expand to fit the video. Oh well.

Sheesh, can't you all let us have a day off in peace every once in a while?

Happy Vac Day. :O

Just checked my programming book... 32,767 the upper limit to a 'Word' variable (16 bits) if it's set to have negative and positive numbers (upper limit 32,767, lower is -32,767)

Well, the Prof rebooted the server a few hours ago, but there are still no bots logged on. Total Online 7, and 7 BotMasters Online

In the past, the bots usually haven't logged in again until the day turns over. Midnight server time, 22: 00 my time (or in about forty minutes )

*shrugs* Not sure why, but that's the way it seems to work.
