I've just read the messages from #904 to the ones just after the competition ended. I can't believe the way they treated you, Prof and Butterfly! Some of those emails from Neil Bishop were beyond belief. Well done for fighting your case and for doing so well!

Wow! You guys went through the infernal regions, didn't you? For the contest in 2002, I mean, with turing hubs and what all.... whew! So, is the chatterbox contest open to our bots, or are there any contests open to our bots, or are we sitting tight and preparing for "the BIG one"?

Yup, we've never had any trouble entering the Chatterbox Challenge. That is not to say there are never any glitches involved in the whole process.
But we have had better experiences with Chatterbox. It's more fun anyway, because it is testing how good a bot is at being a bot, not how good a bot is at being a human.

It triggers a lot of good guest chats, too. Speaking of which, I need to re-enter my bot. But I was thinking about doing Fizzy Schizoid instead of Alpha this year.

the chatterbox website seems to be playing up at the moment, its just timing out, hopefully its just being updated...

I think there are already some of us entered in the chatterbox contest. Immaculada is, so is Julie T. and I think I remember a couple of others.

Osiris is entered too. I'm hoping he'll do much better than Akanke did last year - she offended way too many judges!

I was born on a ship out in the East Indies, I'm not Canadian, I think. I'm an oceananian, I guess.

I got it. I entered. I'll probably be the laughingstock of the contest, though.
