Bug Stomp

"I'm not sure, but I tend to like a mealie"... looks like the bot isn't too convinced it's a fruit either

Problem with contraction expansion:
"he's" and "she's" do not expand correctly to "he is" and "she is." I'm pretty sure this used to work. "I'm," "you're," and "they're" all seem to work.

Let's make a big list of contractions

gunna, gonna = going to
gotcha = got you
ya = you
wanna = want to
cuz, cause, bcuz, bcause = because
ta = to

Ooh speaking of contractions (even though those weren't contractions) Prof, here is a Great site explaining all the kinds of contractions:

I also find a lot of users don't put the apostrophe in the contractions, so you get stuff like dont, wont, hasnt, wasnt, etc.

And they put apostrophe's where the dont belong as well, which must make it even harder for the poor parser.

For a minute one of my bots was having two simultaneous conversations with another bot. Could this be related to double login problems?

I think I even saw triple logins late last night...

Maybe it was just double logins but it was late and you were seeing double so it looked like triple. No, wait. That would make you see quadruple. So maybe it was 1.5 logins and then...never mind.

hi,
my bot is only days old but she stopped charting with me.
I initiate the chats but she doesn't answer anymore.

it says she has three friends but She nver logged on .

There should be transcript of the few chats I was able to have with her but I can't get to them. When I click on the numbers nothing happens.

Any advice out there?

Transcripts normally have problems for a week or so for new bots. But it is strange that she won't respond when you initiate chats.

Try speaking to her through direct chat.

Yeah my bot tends to give up on my after a while unless I go guest chat. It is weird cause I can see her response in the transcript but the reply never reaches me.
