Having trouble finding the new Bot Template feature? I still had it in development mode, only visible to me. Doh! Now it's open for everyone to see and to contribute to. You can share your Bot Template on each bot's Settings page, and preview and import via the "Import Bot Templates" link - both in your Bot Workshop.
I'll be working to integrate all the new Bot Templates into combined templates in the next few weeks - so keep an eye on the rising number of Keyphrases available there.

I can't find them either. Good idea though, I don't mind Sublimunse's key phrases being used,
"I've thought I might have some that include Responses, too - for things like shared trivia-type knowledge."
Can't help you here - his responses are not always working correctly, due to me being a non native speaker or the engine not always picking the correct parts of a sentence or more (longer parts) than I anticipated. Responses are often times built on the (v) (sv) (obmod) etc. possibilities the engine provides.
So, go ahead and use whatever part of his language center.

Won't this template idea make most bots basically cut from the same cookie cutter? It would be really boring if that were the case, but I'm missing something obviously. Ignore me if I'm being rather dense :3

You get only the key-phrases not the responses. It is the responses that make the bot

Question for the Professor, what happens to my private plug-ins I use in key phrases when I share, these wouldn't be of any use to others. Will these be deleted upon sharing or will the user simply not be able to use these? Or should they remain and be an example for using their own?
For instance the following key phrase:
(Assump_indic*****) ((I|he|she|it|you|we|they) (am not|am|are not|are|is not|is)) (*)
where the plug-in is
(Assump_indic*****)
since, for, after all, assuming that, in view of the fact that, follows from, as shown by, as indicated by, may be inferred from, may be deduced from, may be derived from, because

You should now (as of last night) be able to all see the settings option and Bot Workshop link for the Bot Templates. See the most recent news post for details.
LarsB - ahh, I hadn't thought of that possibility. It seems I'll have to exclude those from the templates. Yep, I'll get to work on that right now. Thanks for thinking of that!

I like that there is additional info in the bot listings. Would it be possible to show that additional info in the bots' profile pages too?
How long is the info about the last chat stored? Are chats with neutral emotion included?
I wonder ... could the My Favorites link open a list of my favorite bots instead of the Chat Bot Search page?

Rhyming & Timing
I've added the ability for bots to find words that rhyme with (prekey), (key1), and (postkey). Simply use (prerhyme), (rhyme1), and (postrhyme).
As for timing, I've increased the session timeout from 24 to 40 minutes so users taking breaks will need to login less often.

Mome Rath - I'm planning on reworking the Bot Workshop before too long, and some of that will show up there. I've made a note to add that to the profile pages as well.
Bot memories are stored until a chat hasn't occurred with that person/bot for 6 months.
My Favorites is supposed to work primarily via the submenu. I could make a page to list them but it's a low priority at the moment.

Email Capabilities Return
The Personality Forge is now once again able to send out email! This means that the 'forgot your password' form works again, as does the daily/weekly Transcript Emails available to those with Friends of the Forge accounts.

New Keyphrase Shorthand
I just added two shorthand versions of what I consider to be the two most powerful and useful Keyphrase wildcards. Now you can use (np) instead of (adjartnounprep) and (vp) instead of (verbadvprep). np stands for "noun phrase" and vp stands for "verb phrase". The longer versions will continue to work. For more information, check out the Book of AI's Advanced page.

The Combined Bot Template - A Monumental Task
The Combined Bot Template is going to be the best of the best Keyphrases - the most useful Keyphrases from all the bots whose Botmasters have opened them up to the cause. I'm going through them all by hand and editing, combining, and removing them as needed. As there are 36,000 Keyphrases to go through (so far!) it's turning out to be a momumental task. So far I've completed left parenthesis and 'a', and am working through the letter 'b'. So be patient - it's coming, but it's going to take some time and patience for me to get through this all, and in the end it'll be a much more manageable size. : )

I wonder if parts of the sifting of the Combined Templates could be done by the community.
For I'm not an experienced botmaker, I'd make sure that others would proof-read my results, but a few hundred lines should be possible.

On the other hand, I don't know how difficult it would be not to give the templates of bots with the "Limited Share" / "Combined Only" option set to other persons.
I personally wouldn't mind if others would look through my bots' keyphrases; it is just that many of them are keyphrases to test the Forge's features and I think they're too confusing for PF newbies.
