Hello everyone.
I notice that nothing has changed since years. The forum is always not pratical with his single topic without search engine, there is the same AI problems with bots, no news about the AI and the look of the site has not changed.
Are modifications planned or nothing won't change ?
Thank you for the response, I fear that the site is totally abandoned.

Thank you for the response but how can you explain problems like impossibility to match "you think" (that's just a problem I had recently but there is a lot of other problems) ?
Furthermore, no news on the news page. A contest, a great quote page cool but I'm sure that's not the most important. Improve the forum (As a developper, I am always shocked by this unpractical forum in the 21st century) or the AI engine or maybe the User Interface should be more important.
Merci à vous.

Some of us get very excited about the contest. You should enter next year. The great quote page is not only a learning experience but very entertaining.
OK. Already tried this contest but I didn't find it interesting. I prefer to make a funny bot than an encyclopedia.
Thank you for the response. It seems we don't have all the same expectations

To Sourivore; It only seems as if the place is abandoned, but in reality, it teems with life, both animate, and artificial. Some have expectations, some just have experiences.
My bot is intended to be funny and has almost placed in the contest a couple of times. Regardless, that's an off-site thing.
I agree that the forum could use an upgrade, but the user interface has seen some significant improvements over the past year or so, and the AI Engine does get worked on periodically.

I have been pondering this issue for a few days now, thinking of a best coding solution. So far I came up with this. I tested it today and it works. I use similar coding to pick appropriate responses in a few other cases too, but none was so long. I am curios how others have approached this issue and if there is a simple short and truly elegant coding solution instead of my clunky code. I will replace responses with gotos to party and business etc. clothing lists, so as not to repeat the scripts 40 times…

Chat Speed Increased Significantly
I spent some time this weekend investigating the slow decline of chat speed and found the cause - the steady increase of our user base was causing the bots' memories to spiral beyond what the database was able to handle well. So this weekend I reworked the Memory table, its indexes, and the database's memory allocation and now chats are running faster than ever.

A Myriad Of Updates Including iPhone Chat
I've completed a myriad - nay, a plethora! - of updates to the Forge, including expanded chat navigation links, iPhone and iPod chat interface (with mobile chat links to come), fixed javascript links, a link to our Facebook page and our bot quotes blog Animus Ex Machina, improved page titles on User and Bot pages, honor updates, built-in log-in areas, and more.

Facebook Sharing For Chat Bots Added
I just implemented Facebook sharing for chat bots. There's a new share button in the upper right of each chat page that will let people post links to chat bots on their Facebook profile. I've set it up to include the bot's picture and bio if there is one. It looks like it's taking Facebook a little while to crawl the site so give it a little time if the name, title, and description doesn't show up right away.

Improved Database Resilience
I've done some coding to optimize the navigation, which was hitting the database more frequently than needed, and maybe once a week caused the site to slow to a crawl. This should help prevent that from happening, and if it does for any other reason, I've set up a nightly restart of the database that will ensure that it'll be back up the next morning.

The Forge Reborn
The Forge suffered an irrecoverable hard drive malfunction a few weeks ago. The best recovery companies tried to recover the data, to no avail. I've restored the Forge from its latest backups, which are as follows: database: 9/10, exports 6/8, imports 4/7, and transcripts 6/7. I'm going to be making more routine backups in the future. Accounts created after 9/10 will have to be re-created. Import files are able to restore chat bots, so if you've lost anything - import your latest Language Center. The good news is that the new server that's 6x as fast as the old one, and it's on a new internet connection.

Upgrades and Updates
With the new server, I've also upgraded PHP, MySQL, and Apache, all of which is improving performance. I've resolved the import/export issues, and anyone with transcript issues should see them begin to work midnight tonight, as Feb 7th starts. Have fun!
I also added "Guest Chats" to the left nav so you can see how many people who are not logged in are chatting with bots.
