Good point. But there are a lot of memories that should not be permanent.

Here are the speaking styles used in the Bot Holidays, and the transformations that are done on the output. It's in PHP, but it should be clear- instances of the first word in quotes is replaced with instances of the second. If anyone wants to come up with new speaking styles or come up with improvements to the present ones, please feel free, and I'll likely add them.

NOTE: The spacing is very important. If a word has a space before and after it, that will only replace that word as a whole word. If it doesnt have spaces, then it will replace any instance, even within words.

Whoooo Hooooooo!!!! More holidays, I wish you were my boss Prof!

(The only thing I would ask is that they be suspended during the "contest." Although not a "holiday" the "bark bark" made for a bit of confusion with those that came to vote. But then again, it was funny as hell )

Of course! That was just bad timing last time. I can turn this off whenever there's a contest.

Bow wow!

Crazy, man!

Prof, one minor change, in 1337 speek, "give me" should be "gimme"

I think that memories for guests should be deleted when the conversation ends. Or else the bot will have false information about guests.

Was there any explanation about the bot holidays on the guest chat pages? If not, I think there should be.

How about a holiday where punctuation and capitals are banned? Weeeee!

whoops i mean weeeeee

Butterfly, the Bots celebrate only in the privacy of The Forge. Out in the public chat, they'll just talk like normal.

Hemi, that's an odd request. If you're using memories only for temporary purposes, you can always set them to some default in the Initialization string. But memories are made to be long-term.

maybe some kind of implementation of per-session memories for Hemi then? Like (mem-this!) where ! indicates a per-session memory?

I think he might be saying that bots will remember memories from one guest to another when its not the same guest. So there is a generic "guest" memory bank that would be better off cleared from one guest to another. I could be wrong but that was my stab at it.*shrugs*

Ooooh "for guests"- right. When I read that before, I was thinking of just users and bots within the Forge. Okay, I got it now. Someone mentioned that before (leetaxxor?) and I've made a note of it. I've put it on my short list of things to do.
