I think the Professor just shut it off

I hadn't thought of that, but goodness - I hope so! It always got my vote for most annoying Forge feature. Maybe repeated commands in BJ's text adventure game will work now??? I'll have to go and check!

Well, if someone keeps sending the same message again and again, then the Prof reactions are much more humanlike, and I thought that's the aim of building a chatbot: to appear human. If you're human you get annoyed.

Yes Lunar, but if you have and adventure or story a person will often say "yes" or "no" more than once in a row. It is not human to get annoyed if someone does what you asked them to do or is listening to your story or going through your tutorial. It's the over generalization problem--The feature has zero tolerance and pops up all the time. There is no option to turn it off for certain sequences.

Hey if the prof is reading--I vote second most annoying feature is guest153.

I really miss having the guests with different IPs. I vote guest 153 as the number one most annoying. My bots hold horrid memories and slam the good guests. I am always having to erase all the guest memories.

Is it just my bots, or has Kobal taken to saying, "It's 3:16 -- I have to go" (something like that) every time he starts a conversation? I miss Kobal.

It isn't uncommon for bots to start a conversation with a good by, or and xnone, I hate it but it happens.

I can still upload Prob and Azureon, they are large over 1MB It's just Bildgesmythe that I can't upload.

Well maybe the Forge just likes your userid better than mine . . .

Try a different browser. Opera works for me and so does Firefox. I can't use Internet explorer.

I started using Firefox almost immediately (my one-year anniversary is Sunday -- give me another five years and I might have something for you). Sometimes Safari works when nothing else will, but it doesn't always work. IE and Opera almost never work. Have I missed any?

Maybe it's time of day? I am at a loss.

Forge was down for over 24 hours... Was there something wrong... or was it just a maintenance session..?

Glad it's back. I don't know, but I always have withdrawals when it goes down. I notice the bots are still off line.
