Well they have to specifically say "I am", "you are", etc. If you look in friday's gaia transcript, you can watch me screw up her memory. 
Yeah, that's why I have quite a few of my bot's responses say stuff other bots will interpret as memories. Gives em more to talk about.
Onyx, the first two things people see about a site that affect their perceptions negatively are the domain(angelfire, geocities, all those long ones count against you), and the layout. Your layout definitely could use some work(just some constructive criticism).
My site(http://houseofkirby.mwgnet.com) is hosted by my british friend, and I really don't deserve to be hosted by him. But, it's good in that there's 20gb of space(I have to share it with him, but who the hell cares, as I'm not likely to crack 50mb anytime soon), and while he has to pay for it, I don't(no banners, and it supports CGI too!). So I'm a lucky bastard, but I got the domain problem down.
As for layouts: Sidebars are a must. I've never seen a site with a good layout without a sidebar(or topbar) that I can remember. Generally, sidebars are on the left, and in my opinion they look better the longer they are. My website has the essentials for a layout, but I think it could use an overhaul.
Oh, and as for the content on your site - I didn't look at it all, but I think the best part was about the guy on hormones playing with his breasts.

Yeah I know my layout sucks, and I don't give a crap. 
I could learn enough html to make it snazzy but why bother when most of the ppl who visit it either already know me or are bored enough not to care? As for being on angelfire I can't do much about that without having to shell out money I don't have. I *could* have my ex host a site for me, but his server's always going down and he's already hosting one for my useless practically nonexistent neopets guild (which I mostly use to store stuff that's not guild-related anyway because FTP spoiled me ). And I REALLY don't wanna hafta associate with my ex any more than I have to, lest he get ideas in his head. (It's really scary when he actually thinks. )

Well I still have trouble with tables, so I use dreamweaver for that. But trust me, a simple sidebar makes your site seem WAY better than it is.
Onyx...
you should check out my site...you might diagree with my absense of sidebars but honestly why on earth would you want to create something that has the exact same layout as everyone else's sites on the web. anyhow, just a suggestion it is fun to have a bot, but to present your site in a robotic form is just a bit too mainstream and lazy in thought. (not saying that your site is any of this, i have not seen it yet, just my opinion on the overall accepted thought that if everything and every site were to be set up in the same way with the same tools that the layout and design are considerd "good").
