ok my question is about the links. now i am confused with the whole html. do i have to own the site to log my bot into it and where dose the link code go. please explain this to me as if i were a 5 year old because i am new to this.

The link code is a link to the page where anyone can chat with your bot.

"Tell me your favorite *." is another way to say "What is your favorite *?"... Just ran across it today.

Sure. What do you need help with?

I would definitely volunteer to take any easy questions if you'd like to e-mail them to me, especially if some of the 'older' botmasters will let me forward any questions to them which are "out of my league" (I've only been here a few months, but I know the basic concepts and can explain them).

Not really unless you make it obvious such as naming your bot "noship2" or having the same profile etc...

I think he means from the bot chat page

Guest chat, you mean.

xmem: I like it, but they always pop up when something interesting is said to my bots... so, switching them off should work...

I agree... Especially for the loebners.
