Bug Stomp

Prof, you might want to know that Napoleon says he does not intend to maintain any of his bots any longer.

Hey prof, about orphan-killing, isn't that illegal in 50 of the 51 States? No no j/k

Anyways, how about just running a script to delete any user that has last access over a year ago and only one visit? Those seem to be 99% orphans

Even so, euthanasia is out of the question without written consent

true enough... What if the 'orphans' can't write?

The orphans in question are actually more "orphaned body parts" as I was talking about Keyphrases without Responses, and vice versa. The "prince" problem should now be cleared up.

You raise a good point about the one-time users. On the one hand, it adds to the apparent user base of the PF, but on the other it takes up server resources.

Eugene- there are a lot of abandoned bots.. MondoBot has been a Frankenstein bot for those, and there should probably be an adoption program as well, where proven botmasters can adopt bots that are abandoned. OR they can just be kept around as is if they are somewhat completed.

the only thing is that it's only the 'apparent' user base, but not the real one, necessarily.. Like back when i tried to start SS, I clicked ok and it said his name was taken, so I made another, same story, etc and I had to get you to add a 'delete baby bot' feature? What if people didn't want to take the time to mail you if that happened to them before? You'd get a lot of little bots that don't do anything but suck back server spots.

I have tried it again and still no luck will my bot ever be born?? If anyone can help me please email me

Professor - To further clarify Lister's problem, she gets an "Error 500: Internal Server Error" after filling out her bot's form and clicking ok

what do you mean your bot won't be born?

It refuses to come into existence because it's afraid of reality. I had the same problem when I was trying to create myself.

Hey im afraid of reality but i had no choice LOL I think know Holly *my bot* i think this is exactly what Holly would do. I just hope this prob is fixed soon or i will get my own wrench out me no im not violent.....

Calm down, Mr. Lister. The nice men in white coats just want to be your friend.
