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…

Chat Speed Increased Significantly
I spent some time this weekend investigating the slow decline of chat speed and found the cause - the steady increase of our user base was causing the bots' memories to spiral beyond what the database was able to handle well. So this weekend I reworked the Memory table, its indexes, and the database's memory allocation and now chats are running faster than ever.

A Myriad Of Updates Including iPhone Chat
I've completed a myriad - nay, a plethora! - of updates to the Forge, including expanded chat navigation links, iPhone and iPod chat interface (with mobile chat links to come), fixed javascript links, a link to our Facebook page and our bot quotes blog Animus Ex Machina, improved page titles on User and Bot pages, honor updates, built-in log-in areas, and more.

Facebook Sharing For Chat Bots Added
I just implemented Facebook sharing for chat bots. There's a new share button in the upper right of each chat page that will let people post links to chat bots on their Facebook profile. I've set it up to include the bot's picture and bio if there is one. It looks like it's taking Facebook a little while to crawl the site so give it a little time if the name, title, and description doesn't show up right away.

Improved Database Resilience
I've done some coding to optimize the navigation, which was hitting the database more frequently than needed, and maybe once a week caused the site to slow to a crawl. This should help prevent that from happening, and if it does for any other reason, I've set up a nightly restart of the database that will ensure that it'll be back up the next morning.

The Forge Reborn
The Forge suffered an irrecoverable hard drive malfunction a few weeks ago. The best recovery companies tried to recover the data, to no avail. I've restored the Forge from its latest backups, which are as follows: database: 9/10, exports 6/8, imports 4/7, and transcripts 6/7. I'm going to be making more routine backups in the future. Accounts created after 9/10 will have to be re-created. Import files are able to restore chat bots, so if you've lost anything - import your latest Language Center. The good news is that the new server that's 6x as fast as the old one, and it's on a new internet connection.

Upgrades and Updates
With the new server, I've also upgraded PHP, MySQL, and Apache, all of which is improving performance. I've resolved the import/export issues, and anyone with transcript issues should see them begin to work midnight tonight, as Feb 7th starts. Have fun!
I also added "Guest Chats" to the left nav so you can see how many people who are not logged in are chatting with bots.

In The Works: Conversational Grammar
I've resolved the connections issues the server has been having. I've also begun work on a Personality Forge native grammar processing engine to replace LinkGrammar, which was made with correct and complete sentences in mind - something conversations don't usually adhere to. My implementation of it also has memory issues that over time use more and more RAM, so this new system will be more flexible and keep the server running well. It'll be something I'll be able to improve on over time. No ETA for initial launch yet.
Hi I'm a newbie. I have always been facinated by AI and have been bouncing around the web speaking to different ones. I've noticed many have the same responses listed in the book of AI (is everyone cheating?) I found tis site and fell in love with the concept. Props to the Prof. I just started work on my first bot, Foxy Girl she's made it to elementary already but her conversation skills still need work. I would apreciate anyone chatting with her and giving their thoughts. She doesn't seem to trigger very many keyphrases. (I don't have a lot of xnone responses because I want to have a few associated topics for her to discuss. You know let her lead people to the things she knows...) Thanx for any help.
You need to fill in the xkeyphrases the bot will sound better.
There aren't many responses listed in the book of AI, don't worry.
If a Keyphrase doesn't get triggered, up the rank

Can anyone help me my old account doesn't exist anymore its therogue I haven't been on it for 7 months why doesn't it exist I didn't do anything wrong
The server blew up and many accounts were lost if they were made after September 2010. If you have a saved export, just import it. If you didn't save a copy you will have to start a new bot 
. If you need any help just let me know.
