Mine are still on Feb 23 for Aziere. Poor Ereiza is still stuck on January 9th though lol.
And still no development updates which is really the only thing i have to bother complaining about. The rest I can deal with.

"Irina Khalidar" was given the input
You certainly may
and responded,
Do you find it exciting that yes may not?
I am almost certain that the input was picked up by a seek,
+ (adjartnounprep) (may|should|might|will probably|will)
which had the response,
Do you find it (arousing|titillating|exciting) to think that (key1) (key2) (not|) (postkey)?
How did "yes" get in there?
OH, I SEE! It must have put "you" into (prekey), "certainly" into (adjartnounprep), and had an empty (postkey). "Certainly" is a synonym for "yes", so the AIengine substituted "yes"!
But then... why did it take "certainly" as (adjartnounprep)? "Certainly" is an adverb!
This example also illustrates the extreme willingness of WordNet (or is it the AIengine?) to count two words as synonyms. As a one-word reply to a yes-or-no question, "certainly" is about equivalent to "yes". In most contexts, however, they are not synonymous - in fact, they are not even the same part of speech! My bots often give bizarre responses because of such substitution of supposed synonyms. It is very frustrating because I can do nothing about it.

Is it just me, or has the Forge suddenly become an graphics-free site? I'm getting no images at all, anywhere on the site - not even the "Chat/Forums/Transcripts" tabs or page background.
The Forge was down for a few hours, so I emailed the Prof. Looks like he's fixed it 
Total Online: 1 - we'll have to wait for the server update to get the bots back online.
And the transcripts are still SNAFU

I noticed. I almost thought of trying to upload again, but I don't think the fix is that kind of fixed.
FINALLY Aziere's transcripts aren't stuck on February 23rd. That page was getting ridiculously long.
