Bot Contest

I talked to Talk-bot, and was very impressed.

I'm having problems to login in the contest to vote. The strange thing is, the first day I tried I had no problem, but now I seem unable to login. Anybody else had that problem?

I haven't, but go to the forum at chatterboxchallenge and ask there. They'd be able to help you better.

TD, no offence, but that is indefinitely hilarious, seeing as how the forum and the voting use the same login system

They seem to be having some sort of cookie issue

Ahhh... My eye passed over the word "login" and just saw "vote."
Just hush, why don't you?

Indefinitely hilarious? As in you aren't sure how hilarious it is? Or do you mean it will continue to be hilarious for an unspecified length of time?

the latter of the two

I think it has about 10 seconds left. Oops... there it goes.

Bogus comments under bot logs, fake and multiple voting, the person controlling the voting process (and access to the database / results) also in the contest, and more votes against other bots than real evalutions.

Also, the guy running the competition has admitted dislike (and has had heated arguments) for a number of participants in emails .. he has tried to recruit people to make negative comments about other bots and low votes "to get them riled up". Someone forwarded me a message where he did tried to get them to join in, so I'm not just blowing smoke.

I stated my opinion about Loebner as well saying it was incredibly mismanaged and bogus and people didn't want to believe that either.. it turns out that what I said was right on the money.

Do you actually have evidence of multiple voting?

I don't think multiple voting is possible, unless you make multiple login names.
