Thanks, prob123,

Could someone please explain the concept of wildcards and plug-ins to me? I read about them in the Book of A.I., but I just don't quite understand it.

Wildcards let you have more versatility in your keyphrases. For instance, "do you * like" would pick up "do you like apples" and "do you really like apples". Plugins allow you to randomly insert something from a list on the plugins page. For instance, (animal2) will insert the name of an animal. If you look up the (animal2) plugin on the plugins page, you can see what animals are listed there.

Thanks, Eugene.

I need people to talk to my bot, Darth Vader, so I can see what I need to improve on. If anyone would do that for me I'd really appreciate it!

prob123 - you finally fixed your avatar!! how did you pull it off?

Is being "bubbly" a good thing?

lol

The Professor is a kind and patient guy, he fixed all my stupid mistakes.

Thanks to everybody for talking to my *ahem* ingenius bot. I have ALOT of work to do. Thanks again.

How do I get my bot to hibernate?

Under My Bots -> settings there's a check box for 'Hibernating'. I have a bot in hibernation but it doesn't seem to matter - his transcripts show that he's a busy little chatterbox at times.
