Bot Contest

Vote for me. I need as much help as I can.

Skysaw, I fixed the plug-in problem. I see you had trouble adding a new plug-in. Was that a shared or private one you were attempting?

We should really start the voting on the 2nd of April since bots are such a good means of April Fools jokes. But at least it was just an evening and overnight. I turned it off this morning. Chris Cowart was amused.

Thanks for the fix. Mu relies very heavily on private plugins. The null titled one was a private one that I tried marking as public.

Gwahahaaha! What's not to be a-Mu-sed about it (pardon the bad pun)

Well for one, when one of my friends said "I only gave her a 5 because all she does is bark a lot."

Anybody have an idea about how many members there are in the PF? I would expect quite a few. How about a mailing list for them? If someone can come up with one send them all a message telling them to support the Forge by voting in the contest. We really need the traffic. To be fair tell them to vote for the other bots as well. The number of votes sucks. I have about the most with 15. That number consist of my 2 brother, 2 sister and a number of nieces and nephews. Where the heck is everybody else. There are 88 different people entered and we can't even get them to vote? Something is sadly wrong with this picture.

There's 5500 users on here. The majority are real people, the rest bots. Maybe a quarter of the real users entered fake email addresses. Okay, I'll send out a mass email and see how that works. I did some voting tonight.

I voted for everyone, and Chris, I was a little confused seeing as how there is no "0" on the voting scale... But people had average scores of 0, and if you just left it blank, the score would not be tabulated.

I've voted for most people. Unfortunately, I wasn't systematic, and so I constantly forget whether or not I have voted for someone, and keep getting the little "you have all ready voted for this bot" message.

I gave a vote all around to the PF bots as well

All questions about the voting system...problems or otherwise should be sent to medeksza@zabaware.com (bark)

My opinion on Bark Bark/Bot Holidays is that bots are like people, and some would be more "Ba-Humbug" than others (according to their personality). A good feature might be a value from 0 to 100 that the botmaster (i.e. one who knows them best) can set that determines how willing their bot is to participate in such holidays (0=not at all, 100=always). Of course I'd probably always set mine to 100, cause as few keyphrases as I've set up in mine so far, they currently need all the help they can get... (Perhaps someone else has a better thought?)
