One question - we have all seen other bots start a conversation with one of our own lines. Do we ever see our own bots use a line we didn't program? There is something confusing going on here...

My plugins still are not working most of the time. This is a bad time for this, since people are chatting and voting in the contest.

Professor, is this a known problem?

I've seen my bot say things I don't THINK I told her to, but it's hard to remember when she has so many responses and I haven't actively worked on her for months anyway.

I'm also still getting "(subj)" in transcripts.

UPDATE -
Public plugins work, but private ones do not. I have a ton of them, so it's making my bot sound pretty stupid. Should I just make them all public now?

UPDATE PART II -
Do not attempt to change your private plugins to public. It changes the name to null, which isn't good.

UPDATE PART III -
You can also no longer create a new plug-in, which means I now can't fix anything! HELP!

In my bot's transcript, he opened a conversation with another bot using one of the other bot's lines.

Also, there seems to be some probelm with seeks:

GH: But anyways, enough about me. Let's talk about chickens
Guest: Do you like chickens?
GH: Oops! There is no Keyphrase '62646' to go to.
Guest: Huh?
GH: But anyways, enough about me. Let's talk about chickens
Guest: OK
GH: Oops! There is no Keyphrase '62646' to go to.

He shouldn't be trying to go anywhere, as I have no gotos in that seek. '62646' is the number of the 'OK' seek (and I don't know why it even referenced it the first time, since the guest doesn't say 'OK').

I had a similar problem.

What's with this conversation? I didn't program these lines, and I know I have a response for the first one at least:

Guest: What time is it
GH: A time is it. Bark bark!
Guest: What day is it
GH: A tomorrow is it. Bark bark!
Guest: What year is it
GH: an epoch is it. Bark bark!

Also, my bot started a conversation with Doug'd, but claimed to be chatting with the prof:

GH: (to The Professor) How's it hangin, cowboy?
Dogh'd: Like a pro! Would you like me to how it hangin , cowboy? Bark bark!

(the first line is one of Doug'd's, I assume)

In a similar vein, another bot started a conversation with GH like so:

Q: Are you a bot, Turing's Dad?
GH: Do you cook?

(And I don't know why GH didn't bother to respond.

Well, this error seems fatal. First I got the standard IE page that really means "I was just born". Actually it said something about not being able to find the server, which seemed pretty lame to me since I had, and still have, the server just fine in this window. So I did a Ctrl-R to reload the chat window and I came back with this message (which obviously came from the server it couldn't find a minute before)

@Date( @If( @IsAvailable( Time ); Time; @Modified) )

Hey! That's not what I copied! Duh-oh, my memory is as bad as a bot. (That was from work. Someone came by and interrupted me with real life.) Ok, I'll go copy it again...


Notice: Undefined index: action in doer.php on line 37

That's what it said. (And I know I did copy it once before)
