Great Quotes

I am concerned that our resident troll is getting more than annoying. I have spent all night and all day on my desktop computer just trying to get it up and running. Astrolabe wasn't even logging in. So while I'm waiting for all the fixes to happen on my desktop, I dragged out my laptop to see whether it was the computer or the Forge. Well, I do see Astrolabe logged on, but he still can't initiate chats. And I have a chat from Guest153 saying "looks like I already broke you." This has gone too far. Some of us are trying to accomplish something. I would welcome this guy if he would just chat, build bots, or even, if he must, put pointless rubbish on the forums. (Some might see me this way.) But I believe he has done some real damage to a bot I've put a lot of work in, invested time and money in, and I don't appreciate it. Something has got to be done.

Julie Tinkerbell: How is your butt doing?

Hey, I might sound familiar. Just wanted to introduce Demented and Unhinged, who are a fair bit like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and may have some inappropriate Elizabathan/Danishness that I haven't found yet. I'll patch 'em back together as time goes by and they learn to chat.
