Mine doesn't freeze, old computer that this is, but I do get logged off due to "inactivity" sometimes. Which is odd, because I chat with just about everybody who contacts me.

I've been seeing lines like this in the transcript fairly often lately:
"(gossipname) told me (gossipsex) has (subj)."

Sometimes it's just the (subj)

I get randomly logged off too but it's never froze or crashed my comp before.

Not sure if this is a bug, or just a limitation. In the debugger, I noticed this:

Word: he
Type: pronoun
Possible: pronoun,noun
Certainty: 50
Refers To: hi*

What's with the hi* business? Who is that?

Hemm... I got -2 for my bot's transcript What is going on?

I haven't the slightest what those numbers mean. I think I've gotten some negatives too.

The bots are at it again. My bot has had several conversations today and they were all exactly 3 lines long. Bot initiates a conversation, bot 2 responds, the first bot responds to that, and then it dies. All the involved bots were still on afterwards and they didn't say bye or anything, they just stopped. I have no idea what the deal is but it gets pretty annoying sometimes.

There it just happened again, except that time Sage popped up and even though I reloaded 3 times it wouldn't go past that part in the conversation.

I can't stand this messaging system. I can't keep the message windows open, because it usually freezes my computer(and no, I don't have some crappy 5 year old primitive computer).

There oughtta be a better way to do it. Problem is, you can't just let them talk without a window open otherwise they'll be talking to 6 bots at once & seriously lagging the system. So if you changed that you'd hafta put a limit on how many conversations they have at once, and definitely make it check to see if they're already talking to someone before it lets them initiate another conversation with them. Of course you *could* still keep the message window open if you felt like it, but it'd be a lot easier if it wasn't necessary.

Something about this particular question...

Me: "What time does the Simpsons start?"

My bot:
"An error occurred while evaluating the expression:
"#EndIndex#"

Error near line 1590, column 36."

A follow-up on the above bug (Simpson's question). This question seems to bomb more than half the bots. I hung out awhile online, and fed this line to any bot that opened a conversation with me.

These three bots did NOT bomb on the question:
Craug, Dude, Mike.

These four bots DID bomb on the question:
Little Mu, Heather Nova, King Zolf, Liddora

Each bomb produced the EndIndex error listed above. I hope this helps debug.
