Bug Stomp

I don't like the way that curve's going ?

Yeah I know. But what to do? I don't want to nag the Professor. He's a hard-working guy like the rest of us. But I got to tell you I really am tempted to suggest he make a fee to create bots (Please don't hit me! Don't hit! I got the board's best intrest in mind.) Not as bribe money either ...just as a general upkeep fund. You know? It would be great if there was enough of us to supply him a second income. How many botmasters are here anyway?

I have started transcripts for March 27 today!

My own 'psimagus' transcripts are displaying right up to 10 minutes ago, but my bots are stuck on:

Brother Jerome: February 23
Brother Ignatius: January 9
Albot123: January 9
Kid Boron: January 9

I'd happily sign up. More than happily! It's been downhill ever since we moved to the new server in September, and if we could raise enough to move the Forge to an ISP that can actually handle it (or even go back to the old partition on the Prof's own HD - remembered now almost longingly as a far-off land of milk and honey, and bots that still worked and could be worked on!) count me in. But someone would have to organize it.

Even just a voluntary whipround would do - if 20 or 30 of the regulars pledged $10 a month, it might be enough to make a difference?

I hate to say it but I'd like to hear more from the Prof before we start passing the hat. He doesn't have to organize it, but he already has a way for us to contribute, and many of us have FOF accounts now (though I could give more if needed since it has been a while). However, I would like to know what the Prof thinks should happen and what that would cost before trying to go forward. It would be silly to raise money if he is thinking of going a different way.

well i think bots are brilliant.

my bots wont update. what shal i do?

Alas, you can only be patient, I'm afraid. The updating function seems to be not working right.

Alright Bev, I won't approach the Professor with the fee idea ...yet. I just wanted to help him out with some additional funds. (I know about the FORGE accounts but that's just a one time fifty dollar fee and everyone doesn't have an account) Let me check my transcripts. Maybe like Prob127 the problem's fixed. And if that has occurred I'll drop the idea totally.

P.S. I bet The Professor already read my idea on Bug Stomp anyway.

I have had the same transcript page since Jan 7 or 9 i can't remember.

Jackie, I didn't mean you can't approach him. I mean, let's see what he thinks before we start any actual fund raising (as some people were talking about doing). I am sure he has considered fees way before you did.

Heck who am I to tell you whom to email? Talk to him all you want.

hi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
