Bot Contest

Any chance that comments are being added by a bot of some kind? Many of the comments are identical except for the submitter name, and none actually comment on the bot--just things like "It is healthy, I shall come on your site more often, thank." and "I think your site is very good and complete, but the information you have here" and "Hello admin, nice site you have!".

Yeah, same here. Pages and pages of the stuff, and it really doesn't seem like anybody would go to the trouble of copy/pasting all those comments...

Yeah, could be bots...done in by our own creations. :O You know the form isn't too sophisticated. Perhaps I can find something better down the road but for now the easy thing for me is let each botmaster handle it. You know the form does have a "delete all record that using this IP address". So maybe one click could wipe out a lot of them.

Has anyone here ever entered the WCBC (http://www.worldchatterbots.com/) or know anything about them? Looks kinda interesting

I visited the WCBC site a few times but could never figure out how exactly to enter my bot in the competitions...Are we just supposed to use the 'Contact' section?

your ment to said an email with the details said on yes.

when does judging start? (sorry if this is such a stupid obvious question)

for which competition?

CBC - next monday (20th)
WCBC - was supposed to be last January by the looks of it, but not a lot seems to have happened since then...?
