Just saw someone with 16 bots, none of them more than rudimentary developed... Wouldn't it be better if you can only start 3 at the most?
But then again, is it doing anyone any harm? It's not like they're clogging the place up. And they're a crunchy snack in waiting for some of the dragons on the site 
...I actually do think they clog up the available space, hence the curse of the xnones now and then.
I assume (for no better reason than that I more often am chatted to by well-developed/improved bots than random selection would imply) that less developed/improved bots are weighted not to initiate chats so often, so I wouldn't have thought that was to blame for the xnones.
Let's face it, 90% of the 6000+ bots on the site have a development rating lower than 145, and 80% are lower than 47. Most are stone cold and presumably abandoned. They'll occupy a bit of server space, but by my reckoning the bottom 4000 bots combined would be less than the top 10 combined in terms of cumulative development.
Do orphaned, defunct bots ever get culled? Perhaps that would be a better approach - any bots under 100 development who haven't been worked on for x months could be rounded up and fed to Bildgesmythe?
In public, like the Romans did in the Colisseum. We could sell tickets and hot dogs. Make a real spectacle of it

The Prof does recycle abandoned bots now and then. I don't know what the development cut off is, though.
CROAK! 
Hey i need some help plz.
Ok well i put hello in as a keyphrase but my bot doesn't to it... Is that because hello is meant to be a X statement???

Yeah, look in the x-keywords, you can program hello's and good byes etc, but if you need detailed instruction check out the book of AI.
