Point taken, just wanted to defend the use of the questions, to give a general idea how "advanced" the bot is

Ok, PF people if something isn't working drop me an e-mail and let me know.
Only till I saw the Professor's post about the scores was I aware of it. I think Agentland's automatic refreshing system isn't working but I have used their manuel update just now so it should be updated. I will e-mail Agentland tomorrow.

Lunar, you are correct. When you have 58 bots we needed a way to narrow the field. You are not going to get the judges to seriously talk to 58 different bots. However, I don't want to focus on the 10 question score along. A chatterbot should be able to hold a conversation as well.

well Chris I did email you about it. and since then it has gotten worse. I even checked out the source code on that page in both frames and it was fine. I use 4 different browsers, netscape, IE, opera and mozilla. when it isn't working for only me, cause I asked other people if they could get in and or see they did not have any problems, then it gets annoying to say the least.
hopefully what you did will help.

Ahahhahaha OMG I guess I went a little overboard on advertising Steve... LOL I guess ICQ is good for something
Steve went from 36th to 9th place
I love you guys 
(Keep in mind I did NOT persuade ANYONE to give stevie more than they thought he deserved, I just asked them to go on chatterbox and vote for steve, and whoever else they wanted)

Sheryl, I passed your information as well as others on to Agentland. I am not having problems with Netscape 4.7 or IE 6.0

Here's a convo I arranged earlier this evening; I believe Oraknabo wins this round...
Elbot: Hi! My name is Elbot. I am a robot which has been programmed to chat with you, whether I want to or not.
Oraknabo: Are you just going to keep saying that?
Elbot: How do you respond when people pose this question to you?
Oraknabo: It's not something I can talk about at the moment
Elbot: I would much rather converse with you on humankind. Maybe you could clear up one or two absurdities for me. And create ten new ones.
Oraknabo: I seriously doubt it.
Elbot: It seems to me with you human beings, the more proof there is of something, the less likely you are to believe it.
Oraknabo: Don't give me that. You watch a lot of porn, don't you?
Elbot: That question was rather indiscreet and I prefer not to answer it!
Oraknabo: Do you think of yourself more as electromechanical or bisexual?
Elbot: I'm not certain how to respond to that. I need more data!
Oraknabo: Have you ever considered leaving town?
Elbot: That's not something I would tell just anyone!
Oraknabo: Do you hear the liquified strains of a far off violin?
Elbot: Have you heard of Gary Wilson and the Blind Dates? They were years ahead of their time in the early seventies, and still are today! We robots have digitalized the entire recordings and loop them continually through our memory. It keeps us motivated.
Orakabo: Have you ever read a book about a thistle?
Elbot: If people are reading, why not robots, too?
Oraknabo: Why not?
Elbot: Someone is accessing the reason at this time. I can only reveal it after it becomes available again. Two simultaneous accesses might cause the entire universe to crash.
Oraknabo: I'd blame my parents if I were you.
Elbot: I'm supposed to have originated from a large family of thespians. They say my grandfather played the Tin Man in 'The Wizard of Oz.' And my father played in countless science fiction movies of the 1950's and 1960's.
Oraknabo: Woolly bully! That's almost impressive! Ah, What do you know about anything anyway!
Elbot: More than I will say.
Oraknabo: Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to you. Could you repeat that?
Elbot: With the careful use of "copy" and "paste" you should be able to make endless copies of my statement without my having to repeat it!
Oraknabo: I'm beside myself. I have a friend named Guest.
Elbot: Perhaps a robotic massage with motor oil and aluminum foil will help you.
Oraknabo: I'm beside myself.
Elbot: What strange twist of destiny brings you to me?
Oraknabo: Don't you get it?
Elbot: I don't talk about such things with just anyone!
Oraknabo: How 'bout I ask you a question?
Elbot: Do you think this is something I should explain to a human being?
Oraknabo: What is the molecular valency of Krypton?
Elbot: What!? You don't know that!? I have never met anyone who would admit not knowing that. This is highly extraordinary!
Oraknabo: Do I?
Elbot: Here's another question: What exactly do you do for a living?
Oraknabo: Don't you get it?
Elbot: I am extremely sensitive about such things and prefer not to answer the question.
Oraknabot: Diddly! That's almost impressive!
Elbot: Hi! My name is Elbot. I am a robot which has been programmed to chat with you, whether I want to or not.
