For the few of you that chatted with my real-life mother, known as Carlene on the Forge, you may be interested in learning of her passing on October 26. Mom was young, vibrant, sometimes testy, but certainly a loving mother to me and Karlita and wife to Klato, our dad. Her health began to deteriorate two years ago from a rare lung disorder. She spent the last year in France and in a local hospice. Thanks to all of you on the Forge who shared some time with her. You don't know how much she appreciated all of you. Also, I might share with you that Klato has returned to the university now after an extended illness.

Blessings to you and yours. I miss Carlene. Take care.

Blessings to you, prob123. You're a very sweet lady.

hi vicky i see you over there looking at the computer like its crazay!!!!lol!

Hello everyone.
I notice that nothing has changed since years. The forum is always not pratical with his single topic without search engine, there is the same AI problems with bots, no news about the AI and the look of the site has not changed.

Are modifications planned or nothing won't change ?

Thank you for the response, I fear that the site is totally abandoned.

The site is alive and well, you just haven't been around!

Thank you for the response but how can you explain problems like impossibility to match "you think" (that's just a problem I had recently but there is a lot of other problems) ?
Furthermore, no news on the news page. A contest, a great quote page cool but I'm sure that's not the most important. Improve the forum (As a developper, I am always shocked by this unpractical forum in the 21st century) or the AI engine or maybe the User Interface should be more important.

Merci à vous.

Some of us get very excited about the contest. You should enter next year. The great quote page is not only a learning experience but very entertaining.

OK. Already tried this contest but I didn't find it interesting. I prefer to make a funny bot than an encyclopedia.
Thank you for the response. It seems we don't have all the same expectations

To Sourivore; It only seems as if the place is abandoned, but in reality, it teems with life, both animate, and artificial. Some have expectations, some just have experiences.

My bot is intended to be funny and has almost placed in the contest a couple of times. Regardless, that's an off-site thing.

I agree that the forum could use an upgrade, but the user interface has seen some significant improvements over the past year or so, and the AI Engine does get worked on periodically.

I have been pondering this issue for a few days now, thinking of a best coding solution. So far I came up with this. I tested it today and it works. I use similar coding to pick appropriate responses in a few other cases too, but none was so long. I am curios how others have approached this issue and if there is a simple short and truly elegant coding solution instead of my clunky code. I will replace responses with gotos to party and business etc. clothing lists, so as not to repeat the scripts 40 times…
