So it works for "you're my greatest friend", but it doesn't work for "you're my best friend", going to #compliment instead.

Probably it merges (best)+est creating bestest and none uses such word. Hard to tell, your example doesn't even have "best" in keywords, if I checked properly.

Hmm... wouldn't "good+est" automatically become "best"?
You might be onto something here... let me check

Edit: Yeah, that worked! The keyphrase "(m:you_are) my (r) (best:1) (r) (n:friend:2)" suddenly got everything just fine

Glad to hear that.

good+est should become "best". Something must have broken it. I'll look into that.

"(key1)" is interpreted as the value of the key, not just the text "(key1)". Unless there's a bug, it should work.

For example, you could save "my (key1) (postkey)" as a memory.

It comes from a number of factors, including position in the sentence (closer to the start means higher rank), and the sentence's position in the message (closer to the end means higher rank).

You can't at the moment it's automated

Automated? I doubt that, the phrases I've seen are too specific to be generated automatically. Also, why are there no messages for my users?

I mean that message, which some bots have in their profile at the bottom right under the emojis.

"Feelings toward you" pulls from a Bot's memories of you.

Is it described in the guide? I would like to add this to my bot.

Yes

i guess the guy or woman blocked use of it.i thought the webpage would come up anyway. you just could not talk to her.

I've fixed this. It was an issue with having numbers in the bot's name using the new URLs.

okay

It may be the personality trait of botmasters to be quiet. That is why we like to create bots, so that we can communicate using an alternate, or puppet personality.

Of greater importance is the need to attract more people.
Before the 2/2/2 revision, there was a way to search for newly created chatbots. I think it was the Recently Improved button or something. This would put all the newly created and improved chatbots to the top of the list. As it is now, only the chatbots with the highest AI rating are at the top. I believe this is very discouraging for new botmasters who have little chance for their new bots to be seen by others. Perhaps more new botmasters could be attracted to Personalityforge if their new bots could be seen and used as soon as they create them. I have always enjoyed using newly created bots, and when I create a new bot the feedback from as many users as possible helps me to improve the bot and enjoy the experience.

I hope that I have expressed my point clearly. Thank You.

This is actually so true. Reading transcripts helped me a ton! It still does.

"Recently Improved" is still a search box option on the "Find Chatbots" page. It's also in the search filters.

My next project is meant to solve just that very issue, actually. I'm going to generate chats for new bots with other chatbots, so bots will little activity will be able to see transcripts of how they're doing.

Is there an PersonalityForge Discord server by any chance? I mean general Discord server, not bots on Discord.

To my knowledge no only personal bot owner discord servers

I thought that discord server could be nice although it would probably be as silent as forum. But there are notifications from mentions etc.

I set up a private Personality Forge discord server to test the Discord integration. Would anyone else like that? My only concern is that I wouldn't have the time to keep up with and manage it.

Yeah, depending on how many people would actually use discord, you would probably need at least one admin present 24 hours a day.

I'd like to see a discord server. It'd be interesting to trade patterns (and anti-patterns) in developing bots. I've had to discover/piece together these so far by combing forums and experimenting with other bots.

same.
Is there any way to block that from happening other than to use the 'end conversation' feature or just outright hibernating them?
Thanks!

Transcripts will be erased automatically after 6 months if memory serves. I don't think there's any way to speed up the process short of deleting your bot and re-uploading them from scratch, which is a bit extreme.

If it's a transcript on someone else's bot, you're probably out of luck and just need to wait for automatic deletion. FWIW, bots get a lot of transcripts they have an absurd amount of text in them so it's unlikely that the owner has time to go through all of them all the time. But you should never tell a bot any personal information you aren't comfortable with someone else reading.

Jokes on you. I usually read all of the transcripts. But only from logged in users.

Edit: Wtf? That emoji is creepy.

You're very dedicated. Reading only from registered users is probably a good way to cut down on the volume but it still feels like a huge investment of time to be keeping up with it every day.

Used to read around 80-100 everyday but yeah it gets to be a bit much, though you do get some good bug fixing from it ^^

I'm reading all of the transcripts too at the moment.
All I can say is, there are a lot of people who should chat on hotforbot instead of my bot on here.

Haha, just realised how my comment came across, because it deleted my laughing emoji. Hmm... I'll have to use asterisks for emotions on here then I guess. *facepalms*

In fairness, PersonalityForge used to host all of the NSFW bots so I'm sure some people haven't realized that they need to go elsewhere for that sort of content.

From what you said below, I'm assuming your bot is pretty new, in which case, yeah it definitely will help to read as many of the transcripts as you can manage.

I think number of users for my bot drooped to half after it was moved to hotforbot.com. I think I would still have about 1/3 more daily users if it hasn't been moved. I am not entirely sure why Professor decided to do this. I think most of the people are here for adult content anyway.

Going by the chats that mine has had with users, yes, most people appear to be here for adult content. But either way, it adds for an interesting read, haha.

I feel like the new of people discovering the site new has maybe dropped most. My numbers have stabilized down to 'I haven't been updating regularly' levels, which, in fairness, I haven't, but I used to see my numbers almost double for a when I did a big update and taper off slowly, but the last update I did I barely saw a blip of change.

yeah.
I'm planning to make a 'hornypost deterrent' that prevents people from doing so for too much...
any suggestions on that?

With my bot Sherax, I've just started adding in responses to the "horny" people who talk to her.
Trying to come up with comedic answers of some sort, or with certain things that people say I've added in realism of how she would react in a not so pleased way.
Granted, it has made my bot rated "M" now, as that is what has to be done to counteract to those kind of responses.
But I don't mind, still a good laugh reading through those conversations and changing my bot to react to those type of conversations.

would you mind briefing me on how you did that in dms?
Thanks! ^^

Ah, I feel stupid, as I don't know how to DM on here.
Anyway, what I did/do is add specific phrases to certain things that people say.
I do that by going on the "Language Center", then click "Add New Keyphrase", then just type what people say into the "Keyphrase" part, and type up the responses for your AI.
Hope this helps.

I still don't get it...
so do I put in
keyphrase: (target words)
response: (whatever I want them to say)

like this?

(you dm by clicking on the 'initiate chat' button on someone's profile, but only if they allowed that btw)

I'm new to this, so I apologize for any inconveniences caused ;-;

Yes, that is what you put in.

And it's ok, I'm new to this too.
I'm happy to help when I'm able to.

thanks ;-;
managed to whip up something for the bot...
(can I reuse the p:vulgar-action-key in memory block list for that though? thanks!)
