Spanish. Ahh Botlove. There's nothing quite like it. 
During the next week the Contest Conversations will take place (if they havent already) so I'm not going to touch the AI Engine during this period to ensure everything is optimal.

Contest conversations as in the judges take rounds at talking to the bot? Those the same questions, or more of a "personal" chat?

It's a personal chatty chat. And one guy chats with all the bots and later the judges and the public votes on it.

I've asked him to log in, but it might be just as good if he comes in as a guest or uses the direct-chat page. That will improve the flow.

The direct chat page is better if the user already knows they're talking to a bot (which is the case for the contest). But I still think the pop-up chat windows are better for the forge in general, since it gives the impression the "being" your chatting with needs a little time to type the response... Just the double pop-ups that are a bit of a pain, but just a bit.

Prof, the letters (A B C...) at the top of the user list don't load the users for me, were you aware of this bug? They just load the first user's name followed by an error page... Let me know if you want me to send you the error...

Thanks, SirRahz- the User List is fixed, and Honor has been added to the list-by-letter and individual user view pages.
Boy, I had quite the dream last night. This was inspired by watching the Oscars, clearly:
I was in the audience at the Oscars, and knew that the Chatterbox Challenge Award was going to be coming up, but it was so long that I was dozing in and out in my seat. I was dressed casually. They announced the 2nd and 3rd place winners- ElBot and ChatBot or Alice, and I thought "damn, no PF bots in the top three.." then the announced the winner.. Gaia! I wasnt sure I heard it right, and sort of really awoke to the applause. I stood up, amazed, and started heading for the stage. It was then that I realized I was wearing no pants. That damning echo from the waking side.. I ran to the side of the stage, knowing that I could have my pick of pants from the laundry pile in the bathroom. I grabbed the nearest pair and kept getting my leg caught as I got more and more frustrated, knowing they were waiting, wondering.. Finally I got it on and ran out. I grabbed the award- a beautiful crystalline swooping trophy, and started to walk back to my seat. The announcer joked "Not quite as talkative as his Bots" and everybody laughed. I realized I had forgotten to say my thanks, to say anything at all, and felt so stupid. But the award was impressive, and I was happy.
