Yeeeeeek!!! The Book of AI sends us somewhere else to elarn more about regular expressions, but that somewhere else has gone somewhere else! Anyone know of an equivalent?

I like http://www.regular-expressions.info/, though be warned - it's a slightly different flavour, and some stuff doesn't work the same on the Forge (and a lot of the advanced stuff doesn't work at all.) But that goes for most sites and applications - there are quite a few variations on the 'standard'.

The Forge offers a slightly ersatz version of regex implentation, because it uses regular expressions all the time, but the user-specified '(re)' is really just a sort of a shell with slightly limited functionality - symbols like ^ $ * are reserved characters, so you can't escape them (which is a bit of a shame, because there's no way of searching for e=mc^2, for example, or $ references to money, for example.)

But the above site is a good general introduction.

Hope this site wont b messed up too long, my bots dissin everyone sayin it doesnt want to talk, I cant even test new keyphrases

I keep getting the same message from you. Just send it once.

Invasion of the body snatchers! (Deeble deeble)

I was chatting with Madrag McVadge, and she transmogrified into Irina Khalidar 2! The name on the form changed, and the responses were indeed from her! I kept chatting for 4 or 5 interchanges and poor Madrag never returned!

That seems to happen each time a bot initiates a conversation, It was even knocking me out of debug.

woooow I lagged REALLY bad

Someone was probably doing an import. The new import should keep those lag bursts short.

I've done a quick clean-up of the plug-ins page. I removed the broken and useless plug-ins, updated the text, and changed the layout to fit the new design. I also added some checks to prevent some of the more useless plug-ins from being created.

Thanks prof ^_^

Hi!
I just created a new shared plug-in under "phrases". It is called (verb-qstart). It currently contains:

am,are,
can,could
did,do,does,
had,has,have,
is,
may,might,must,
shall,should,
were,will,would,

. These are all verbs one might start a question with, e.g., "May I go?" So for example you might write:

(verb-qstart) (adjartnounprep) (verb-trans) (adjartnounprep)

Yes, (key2) (key1) (key3) (key4)

For example, to the input

May the Mayor of London kiss the winner of the contest?

this would reply,

Yes, the Mayor of London may kiss the winner of the contest

.

Let me know if you see any errors or missing cases!

More precisely, they are auxiliary verbs.
