Another problem with custom name memories is that spellcheck and other preprocessing can mess with names. E.g.:
Sim3: I love talking to humans, what's your name?
Guest: Fred
Sim3: Is your name really freed?
Guest: Fred
Sim3: I didn't really think so.

See, my deal is that if a guest starts chatting via a link on my own web site, the greeting that's used is the one for someone that it has already met (xinitiate). I'd like it to distinguish, then, if it is talking to someone it's met before or if it's talking to a guest that it may or may not have ever talked to before. Memories attatched to plug-ins or plug-ins as variables would be fantastic, but for now I'd settle for the linked greeting being xintroduce instead. Wouldn't that make more sense intuitively anyway?

Bowchickawowers,
I don't know if your bot would be able to recognize different guests and know whether or not it has talked to them before.
I guess the bots would need access to the guests' IP addresses - and recognize them that way?

Even then, IPs change. It could use cookies, but a lot of people are against that 
All this kind of "privacy" stuff, like what your nickname is so a bot remembers you on PF is really trivial. I think the whole privacy-minded world should take a chill pill. It's used for the most part to make things better.

Bowchick: Yeah. But we have no control over that at all. I also would like bots to xintroduce rather than xinitiate to guests, the bot at least assuming it has not talked to the user before. Scripting could then sort that out as I mentioned above.
Of course you could write your xinitiate responses as though it were xintroduce. That would help for the guest problem, but may mess up chats here on the forge a little.
I did this to improve Simulacron3's dealing with CBC judges. He can remember their actual names and whether or not they are human, etc. for the session (if the guest is willing to give that info).
Unless the Prof. rewires the Guest account, there are only kludgey partial solutions.
If it's really important and you can program your Web site, you could probably do all the login and name management on your site before sending the input to your bot on PF.

Is the Flash feature going to be available to everyone, or just the "Friends of PF"?

Frizella has an xinitiate that's meant for boys. It includes <?PF if male; ?>. She just hailed Cindy Nightshade with "You bad boy, you've been avoiding me!" When I looked at Cindy's profile (just to see if "Cindy" is a "boy named Sue" situation), there's no sex listed. If the sex parameter is non-existent, why would it be a match for Frizella's boy greeting?
