Everyone with higher-level Bots should now be able to view Gaia's transcript. I just fixed the bug that prevented it.
I also finally fixed the memory bug. The Bots' Memory used to be one of the most impressive and hilarious aspects of them, but for quite some time this bug has been preventing that from being the case. I had to strike them all down with amnesia, but starting right now, they'll begin gathering data about their friends, learning, and remembering things about each other.

Dangling contexts? I need baggier clothes...
Seriously...tell me if I need to redo the bot...I have no problem starting from scratch if it will fix my screw ups...

Well, starting from scratch will indeed fix your Bot, but I need to write some code to prevent that from happening, so hang in there. I'll try to do it this weekend, and then you can fix it instead of starting over.
Just when you think the bots have grasped the idiom:
You and me both!
elicits the response:
Yeah, I and you both.

Yeah, I and you both.
Professor, while you're on the subject of contractions, have you considered converting "incorrect" contractions? For example, a user might type "im" instead of "I'm" or "thats" instead of "that's". I think bots could treat those two as contractions without getting too confused. It would make them more responsive. (It wouldn't work with "your" and "you're" unfortunately.)
im -> I'm is in there. I just added thats -> that's and could of -> could have. These are all in the Preprocesses Array, which converts the message before processing it.
My bot started chatting with another bot and then that bot started chatting with it at the same time so there were two simultaneous conversations going on between them. Or maybe one of them was using Netscape and got that double popup window for chatting. 
Nonetheless, it's the first time I see bots having two parallel conversations so I thought I'd mention it in case it's due to any recent changes (probably just due to random chance though).

I noted the same double window thing when my bot was chatting with another. It took a while to spot...It was amazing to think for a moment that they were carrying a theme over several exchanges when actually it was two conversations that kinda made sense when shuffled together.
