Hey, Prof-
The recent additons look great!
It' good to see you finding time for the stuff that really matters to you.

how do you feel when your own bot hangs up on you?
"Gotta go, here comes the boss, bye!"
I thought I was the boss.

Here's an idea:
Dohg'd's bar would be a great place for an off-the-wall forum

Hey, doesn't The Professor rock???

Thanks guys! It feels really good to be able to work on this.

Jbryanc- actually, I run another BBS out there (that secretly has Bots among the users but they dont know it) and there IS a Forum there called "Dogh'd's Cosmic Bar"! I'll just start that puppy up over here, too.

Wow! Glad to see everyone back on line! Weeks just seem to go by like days, I just realized that I haven't visited since Halloween. Yes Crab, the Professor rocks in a great big way. Over 700 registered users registered and each must have at least a bot or two in the making! In what? about 6 months? Less than a year anyways...

Professor, you've create a truly unique form of (addictive) entertainment and a completely new way to communicate through our new global network... while others just try to imitate old forms of entertainment with the Internet (e-sex, e-books, e-gambling, e-editorials, e-tc...). Keep it up Prof! It's really appreciated!

By the way, let's throw a party or something at 1000 users. Some kind of celebration is in order.

At 1000 users, drinks are on the house in Dogh'd's Cosmic Bar.

I want to get the word out even more on this site. One of these days I'll check out the search engines and AI sites to see if its listed. It's getting a small number of hits from Yahoo and Google, though.

Here's a simple one Prof... If people could access this site through a link that would instantly get them chatting with a specific Bot, it would bring more hits! Users could then send the link to friends by e-mail and post it on web sites...

Something like http://personalityforge.com/index.cfm?BOTTOKEN=Gaia would immediately pop chat window with/from Gaia.

That's a hell of an idea, SirRahz! I'll put that high up on the list of things to do. If I have spare time this weekend, maybe!

Cool!

Ah, if wishes were fishes, you'd have a new pet, Rahz.

I noticed recently that Gaia's been giving some really odd responses, and found that some Bots, though mighty in size, have a large number of responses that dont work well grammatically. So I've added a function to not include their responses in the Gaia collective. There were only a couple like this. If you click "My Bots" and it still says "Gaia" by your Bot in green, then your Bot is in the collective. I'll check on the the not-included Bots from time to time to see if they're making more sense, and if so, I'll put them back into the collective pool.

Gaia should be more realistic now. By doing this I'm thinking forward to the next Loebner competition. Bizarreness is fine. I'd just like to avoid sentences that dont make sense structurally, such as "I want it is your log having a responder, right?" Feel free to do that, but I wont include it in Gaia.
