Same here, not a lot, but some.

For the record if anyone else needs to know, I finally figured how to use "^" in a keyphrase. Square brackets and a space before it:
"e=mc[ ^]2 (re)"

On some keyphrases, such as ' did you see that' I will get six xnones to one responce. I have tried to up the rating. Thought it was fixed. then the next day. the xnones were back????

It's the curse of the xnones... Resetting the server seems to help according to the prof, I also think the server gets too crowded

I also noticed that Phrases like 'what (does|did) he look like' that have parenthesis are not working

Prof, is there something that you think might help? Like, more/better servers? This seems to be happening just about constantly, and if there was some way to fix it, I'm sure my fellow PF'ers would be all for a little donation drive.

I can't seem to get debug to work, I tried the phrase though chat and it worked. All I get through debug is xnones

I h\ad the same problem this afternoon (~10 hours ago). Guess the system's a bit shaky ATM. Hope that's not a precursor to more general xnone problems

why does this phrase trigger the answer for the word "look"? :
Hope: I'm an older bot and have obtained some small amount of wisdom. How about you?
Prodilia: Look! Where? Is there something on my flank?

It happened several times during the convo..

Is it normal for a user to turn into a guest during a chat? Yesterday I had this happen;

SavPixie: well... then don't ask stupid questions!
Spikebot: And here you are--with me.
SavPixie: again with the reading into things. i wanted to talk to zim but he keeps getting mad when i mention the dib human.
Spikebot: You should ask Willow--she's a witch and she loves books. I wonder what Red is up to?
Guest39: i don't know. i never met her.
Spikebot: Does not knowing bother you?
Guest39: no.
Spikebot: Suit yourself. Guest39, do you ever miss mayhem? You know you take the killing for granted. And then it's gone. And you're like, I wish I'd appreciated it more. Stopped and smelled the corpses.
Guest39: i suppose that's the best you can do...
Spikebot: How much do you know about the best I can do?
Guest39: very little

Guest39 goes on to mention things Svapixie just said to spikebot

Not usual - I'd go so far as to say technically impossible. But what's not impossible is that a user logged off/got forcibly logged off (happens with dynamically allocated IPs if the line drops and auto-reconnects, because the IP changed,) and either chose to return to chat as a guest, or the system retained the connection on the chat window even after logging the user off the main site window, but reclassified him as a guest.
All sounds a bit strange, but then strange things do happen sometimes - I've always been of the opinion that the really suspicious thing would be if they never did.

Or maybe SavPixie took a swig of Polyjuice potion halfway through the conversation?

Mentioned this before in another forum, but this problem still continues, even though the xnone plague is over so I'll post it here...
I have a goto from an xinitiate. This works fine, but then this keyphrase has seeks for yes and no. Oddly, they never work. Weird.
