The lengths of conversation shouldn't be affected by insults unless you have hang up or have the adult filter on. It should just return the insults from the xinsult or any keyphrase that you have for an insult.

How does one prevent hangups?

Sorry to double post. But My bot hangs up as soon as I speak with him, how do I stop this?

tell him/her you love him/her a couple of times, that should raise the bots'emotion value it has for you

Also, try it first in Debug then in your chat.

Number words are preprocessed to numbers expressed in figures. For number processing, this is a great idea, but it can look a bit ridiculous when a bot catches as a key something like

one another, the other one, one two three

and puts the preprocessed form of this into its response.

Is it impossible to compare a memory to other memories? For example, the following condition is not accepted:

<?PF if (self-talkedto) is not (name) [...] ?>

I get this error message:
ERROR: The following AIScript statement is incorrectly formatted: "if (self-talkedto) is not (name)". Please correct this and try again.

I might be wrong, probably am,
<?PF if (self-talkedto) is not "Big Bubba"; ?>
I think you would have to declare the name or use two statements.

I know that "hard-coded" names work, but the point is that I want to compare that memory to the name of the current user.

Sorry, I don't quite get what you mean with "declare the name or use two statements".

I am lost. You want a self memory compared to the user.
You have the name of the user? I meant using the name like Big Bubba or Bertha.
You can use multi statements. I don't think you can use (name) you might try. with parenthesis.
<?PF if (self-talkedto) is not "mem-name"; ?>;
<?PF if (mem-name) is "what ever"; ?>;
<?PF if (self-memoryname) does not exist; ?>

No, it can't be done, I believe this was asked, tried and tested 2 - 3 years ago. It wasn't possible then as it isn't now

Comparing memories with memories would make lots of sense, I think. (Maybe memories with plug-ins too.)

I'm just considering whether it would make sense to enter a keyphrase (and response) like

(.*)(re) [-4,0] <?PF raw ?>
    Goto xnone

to prevent bots hanging up in contests because of too many BLABs in a row.

(it must be a regex, for any keyphrase starting with "*" or "(*" wouldn't be accepted.)
