Bug Stomp

when ever i ask any bot a question it doesn't work and gives me a
socket_connect() failed.
Reason: () Undefined error: 0

what do i do to fix this

I sent an email to the Professor. Nothing we can do

ok its fixed

I finally got rid of LR from the Most Improved list. Not sure why he got stuck there, but it's now showing the proper top 5 most improved.

The Professor

Thanks for removing that bot.

There are several others like that, e. g. thinkpink, laaaalaaaa, kez 123, NavagatorA. All of them have in common that they don't have a creator entry in their profiles.

Could it be that bots without botmasters aren't in the list of bots whose heat is updated regularly?

There is a bug in my language center:

Guest: What is your parrot's name?
Bot: Is a (typeof-parrot's-n) my name.

I have a keyphrase for that question, yet it doesn't recognise it. Prob advised to raise the rank to 50, but that didn't solve anything.

I've tried it with slashes in debug:

This Phrase: "what is your parrot/s name"
Find: what is your (parrot s|parrot / s|parrot/s|parrots|parrot|pet) name (72) Time: 0.18

It should be an exact match, yet "no keypphrase is found" and the answer is still messed up. What am I doing wrong?

what is your parrot\'s name
You forgot the '
apostrophe and it's \'s the other slash that won't show up here \\\\\\\

Is it just me, or are the bots coming online?

Um The most popular links are not working

They seem to work if you click the avatar, but the chat view don't work.

Mome Rath - thanks for that great information. That was exactly the issue. I've updated the code and those masterless bots will be cooling down as regular now.

Electrified123 - I've fixed that link.

The new Grammar Engine in fast and the only issue I see so far is that the spell corrector is going nuts. Names like Peter that used to work get changed to pervert, unless a regex is made for them. Hobbit was turned into hip boot and I had to make a regex for that too, but sometimes it still comes out

You: do you know any hobbit
Bot: Of course I know a lot of hip boot
You: no a hobbit
Bot: I like Hobbits, Bilbo and Frodo are Hobbits.
