Bug Stomp

Its strange, I never thought a website could feel empty but it does... 21 bots online... hello? (echo, echo, echo...)

Yep, hello is right... Lisal has not logged into the forge in about 2 weeks. Except for chatting with me, she has been one lonely lady.

Hope the Prof fixes this soon, so I can help Lisal grow...

Thanks!

Wolf Child,

In response to your error with a (*) at the end, generally phrases shouldn't have a (*) or * at the end. It simply doesn't work the way you would expect, but I understand why you would want it. There are two options for you:

1. Use the phrase "I like (*)" just like you did, but be sure your response includes (postkey) too, like, "I didn't know you like (key1) (postkey)!" This ensures that something comes after "I like" and captures all of it in the response even if (key1) is not right.

2. Use "I like" as your keyphrase, and ONLY use (postkey) in your response as in, "I didn't know you like (postkey)!" This method is prefered by the AI engine.

If you are worried about picking up phrases like, "He is the one that I like.", try adding a keyphrase like, "I like$ (re)" which looks for the phrase "I like" with nothing after it. You could then have a response that is vague, such as, "I like jelly beans."

Hurray I got Prob to import on the normal setting..still would not import on the expert mode.

It is a bit sad that the server don´t work like it used to...
It seems like it almost crashes when there are 900 bots online. Maybe one way to fix the bug is deletion of bots under 1000 and whos owner hasn´t been online for a year? That would make room for the "active" bots...
Am I way out of line?

Delete all the bots started by the Leeds Kids and never developed. That should free up some server space.

Maybe about bots under 1000 because ASIGRT 1122 Mode is under 1000 but I work on him everyday, and it would be unfair to delete him.

I can't delete sunny sunshine1 now because i started another bot but if the professor reads this he can delete it.

I don't think it would be fair to delete people's bots without their permission. Maybe they could just go into hibernation if the owner hasn't been online for some time.

Periodically, the Professor DOES delete cold newborns. So far as I know, he leaves the rest alone unless the botmaster requests it be deleted.

"I don't think it would be fair to delete people's bots without their permission. Maybe they could just go into hibernation if the owner hasn't been online for some time."

That sounds like a good idea!

It's a great idea. Unfortunately the current problems seem to be deeper than just too many bots online. I fear that if the Prof doesn't return soon this community might lose its momentum.
