Bug Stomp

I've put one up for you in quotes.

Thank you very much

I'm finding it a little hard to think of Keyphrases recently

I've just uploaded an essay about keyphrases to my website (http://www.be9.net/BJ/) that might give you some ideas - follow the link from the WHAT'S NEW section.
And there are also a good few thousand keyphrases, from several bots, in the keynomes section - you can help yourself to them.

hello,

i am still experiencing trouble with my bot's transcipts, as they are still not showing up. In order to further improve my bot, i think it is essential to be able to read transcripts from other users chatting with my bot. Could anybody post some transcripts of chats with my bot in the "great quotes" section of the forum.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@ psimagus,
That essay was interesting, but honestly I have no prior programming knowledge (I'm 16 for god's sake 0.o) so it all looks like gobbldigoop- and though I understand the meaning behind it- I'm still very unclear on those sorts of things and how exactly to use them. My bot's keyphrases are very simple but get the job done as well as I could hope for- so therefore I am going to make a list of very simple starter keyphrases for people who are as scatterbrained as I. I will tell you when I am done and if you think it's acceptable you can feel free to put it on BJ's site. The keynomes on there are very helpful though.

Actually, I guess technical prowess, while obviosly decisive, is just part of the story. An outstanding bot must have a distinctive and engaging personality, although assessing the latter may depend on subjective judgement. I, for example, am a great admirer of Wolf Child's bots. Even that poor thing bbbruno flourishes when he gets a chance to chat with Aziere.

Obviosly I meant obviously.

It's true - no matter how good the keyphrases are, it's the responses that make a bot truly engaging (but we don't often hear people needing inspiration to think up responses )

why cant the prof be bothered to sort out the transcipt problem. it seems it just cant be bothered!

as it has gone on so long you would think he would sort itout. None of my bots have had any transcripts for ages. I would apreciate anybody talking to helloearthlings. Thanks

Maybe it's not to do with being bothered... It seems to me like a lot of bother to set all this site up and everything for people to use without having to pay. This bug might be something really fiddly, or expensive to sort out. Anyway, I look forward to when the bot transcripts come up - it'll be like Christmas all over again! Trevorm has set up a transcripts page on the wikki thing for people to paste transcripts up. (Scroll up great quotes for the link.) I've put one up for you. Also, if people who have them throw bot to bot transcripts up every now and again that will give us things to work with. It'll work out OK.

Maybe it is worth putting a list of bots that particularly want transcripts up on the wikki site. Then we can help each-other out?
