Personality

No, no.....he might just be busy. He has spoken of future plans involving PF.

I think he is just feeling discouraged about Gaia's unpredictability. Personally, I think Gaia kicks ass, and I left a pretty nice transcript a few days ago to prove it.

I seriously doubt he's given up on the forge, and gaia's unpredictability is not a new development.

Maybe he's finally decided to learn Java so he can do the new stuff he wants to.

Jehovah's witness eh? Hmmm. That gives me an idea.

The problem is, there are many good Bots on here, that can keep a conversation going, but just don't pretend to be a human.
Yeah, haven't been on for a while cos my computer was too slow...that and I started horse-riding a load more.

Forest, I don't think it matters. The idea is not that they act like humans but that they could be mistaken for a human. (Why that denotes intelligence is beyond me.) If The Booger Man, for example, convinced the judges he was an easily amused kid pretending to be a talking booger, he'd win the prize.

Well maybe that in itself is how you make a believable bot. If it's believable... But then again, it's not always a good idea to try to make your bot believable.

Seriously, isn't anyone with a new Bot's biggest fear that their Bot will run into NotKirby? Oh, I remember the first time Brianna met him...

The torch has been passed, forest. The new victim is in the Great Quotes section.

Well let's put it this way. I have a friend who always talks like he thinks he's a dragon. I have another friend who talks like he thinks he's someone's dog. (I met both these guys in heavily RP oriented environments...go figure. ) Anyway my point is, why should a bot make any more sense than a human?

Even I'm scared of meeting NotKirby LOL

The Prof hasn't given up on the forge, actually he's doing most of his work behind-the-scenes it seems, as he pops on for a minute to see how things are working...
