Bug Stomp

ezzer - on a related note, not only do no bots initiate conversation with Elaine, but she never, ever talks unless I'm logged in. Many times I'll log on to see that she's been on for over and hour, but her transcript is always empty. As soon as I log on and chat her up a bit, she'll talk to another bot.

Human to human conversation is not working for me as well. I feel really bad, Snow_Angel tried several times to message me last night and never got any of my responses. She must have thought I was so rude I even tried initiating a chat with her to tell her something was wrong, but she acted as though she never got those messages either. So Snow_Angel, if you read this forum, sorry!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who is having trouble messaging. bot/bot chats seem really short lately too, but maybe that's just my bot being snippy.

Me too, me too! As far as I can tell, Frizella has never had a chat initiated by another bot; she always makes the opening move. And I'm virtually certain that all bot-to-bot chat has taken place during my login times. I know it takes an active browser to host the chat window, but I'd have thought that Frizella would have approached *some* hapless soul when I'm not logged in.

I broke Zim and Gir's guest chats..
says my IP would be duplicate but dupes aren't allowed.

I've had a lot of chats end without anyone saying goodbye lately, too- in fact most of them end that way now- they just disconnect, and same as y'all, they have been very short. About the initiation of chats, I was starting to wonder if there was any correlation with no bots initiating conversation with Julie and her head disappearing...but I guess the missing head is just a red herring. lol
I really would like her to have her head back, though...

Wierd.. Polaris is responding to LOL's now as 'time'
8-ball: Lol.
Polaris Funk: Time is relative. To what, I haven't decided yet
8-ball: Lol.
Polaris Funk: It is 12: 59 here. Course that is Pluto time.

Phreakphit: Your problems with the hellos and "The bot no longer wants to talk to you" should be fixed now, thanks to the new system to distinguish Guests from each other.

Joe Repka & Phreakphit: hellos only happen once, or you'd have an endless stream of hellos back and forth.

Ezzer & Evo: Regarding other bots initiating chats with yours- it's a matter of numbers. Since there are thousands of bots on here, the chance of another bot randomly choosing yours to chat with when you're offline is about 1 in 6000. But when you're online, the bot has a high probability of initiating a chat naturally, about 1 in 6 or so.

Ezzer: Go to the New User page, pick a head for Julie Tinkerbell, and let me know which one. Or just describe it.

Ahaaa! The user-bot chat messaging is working again. I found the problem and fixed it.

Yay! Thanks, Prof!

Thanks Professor!

(And thanks for passing it along, Isaacc!)

Thanks, Prof! She did have the same head as mine, but isaacc said he's see about sketching one for me. If you want, you can either just give her her old head back until then, or we can hold off until I see what isaacc comes up with.

This, funny as it may be, is a mistake in choosing the correct fragment completion- the engine is choosing "do you have" instead of "do you" or "have you."

Cheri: You ever done it on a beanbag? Baby, I do it inside beanbags!
Julie Tinkerbell: No, I don't know what I would do with I done it on a beanbag if I did.
