Lunar- try "My Bots" now, you should be able to see Gaia's Transcript.
I havent pruned Gaia in quite some time so I expect it's quite a mess. One of these days I'll tune it up a bit.

VALUABLE PERSONALITY ADVICE
------------------------------
1) Keyphrase Specificity: In order to get the most out of your Keyphrases, try not to be too specific. For example, the Keyphrase "do you" will match a LOT of incoming messages, while the Keyphrase "do you like to eat bars of soap" will probably never match an incoming message. You need a good balance between specificity and generality. "do you like" and "do you like to" are also good Keyphrases, but "do you like pears" and "do you like to swim" are not.
2) Bland Responses: Though bland responses like "Ok." and "Nahh.." and "Really?" and so on will help your Bot gain levels, it wont make a very interesting Bot, and will probably never gain the notoriety a bot with interesting Responses will.

I use a system for ranking where super-general keyphrases (like "my") get a rank of 0, structural ones (like "who did") get a 4, and specific mention ones (like "carrots") get a 12. This has seemed to work pretty well for the most part. Though it was originally engineered under the old keyword/context system, since longer keyphrases trump shorter ones, it still seems to do fine.
The only fuss-up is the strange "topic memory disease"...

To answer Forest: I have one bot, nearly 700 phrases, and I don't use the emotional scale at all yet. My bot's a part of Gaia, but the only time I've seen Gaia use one of her phrases is when I tested a pretty obscure one. If you want to know which one is mine and don't know yet, email me.
Is that so, Forest? I'm glad I'm already conveying my personality here. As for when I first saw Gaia in there, I was totally freaked out. By coincidence, it was also the day I talked to her for the 2nd or 3rd time. When I saw the line "::giggles ferociously::" in one of Gaia's transcripts, man was I freaked out(I have yet to see another person say that). Anyway, as for the ranking, it took me like 2 weeks at least before I started. I use mostly 5s, 0s for the unimportant stuff, 10s for things I want over the rest, and there's like one or two 20s in there just because when they pop up, I don't want them to be missed. And as for seeks... I just discovered them like last week.
Forest, for a self-proclaimed newbie, your bot has come quite far in that small amount of time. NotKirby is a little over a month old and he has 745 responses.

Thank you Kirby. But I do kinda go on this site daily for a few hours. It's not like I have a life.
