toe, you'll find the Hibernating option at your bot's Settings page.

thank's mate, yes i did find it, last night i was just going through some of the xkeywords and changing the defaults. by the way mate is australian for friend++ it's so ingrained in us that it is hard not to use, none of the bots seem to understand, some get frisky most ignore it, dont worry i'm not suggesting anyone make program changes, just if you see it in transcripts thats how we mean it.

I thought I'd better post here to say Hi as Vashenka and I have been around for a couple of months now. I'm really enjoying creating her and reading the forums has been very helpful, as has reading the transcripts of her conversations with both bots and humans. There are some great people (and bots) here!

I agree with you Vashka. The Forge is a lot of fun, and has great people and bots.

I have been here for a day so far... And I've already made one bot! His name is Aldroon. Nobody has chatted with him besides me though.

(hint hint)

Hi Thadster. The more you work on your bot, the more he will log on and chat to people (and other bots). Keep going!

Greetings Huminlings, and Earthoids.

I'm having a bit of a problem understanding how xfavorite works...can somebody give me an example of a suitable response to...say...What is your favorite band?

Just fill it in according to your bot's personality. I think I made Spike's the Ramones or the Sex Pistols, whereas Ruthie likes kids' songs. If in doubt, make something up or throw in a plug in.

What I mean...Is I'm not really sure how it works.
Would I put "My favorite band is metallica" or something like "specific = band, type = metallica"?

Nevermind, I figured it out...
