resp:15 I know that too, but if you make it client server, and allow
connects from anywhere, you're starting to move into IRC's niche.

To answer two questions from Steve:
> Why wasn't the

Because a teenager in St. Louis would have a much better command
of English; it's much easier to mimic a limited subset of the
language.

Heh. Think of it as an opportunity for ryan to develop and show off
his design and programming skills. It's been interesting to watch
srihai develop. I used to be able to trip srihai up pretty easily
to demonstrate to others in party that he was a bot, but ryan's
made that a lot harder recently.

I think #0 is a *fine* idea! I can't speak for all of M-Net's Board
or its users, but I'd personally like to see this idea explored
further.
Since most of the comments here are positive, would ryan
be willing to enter an item in the M-Net Policy Conference explaining
the idea?

See now Item 168 in the M-Net Policy Conference about this linkbot
idea. I've posted a motion for the M-Net Board approving this
idea in principle. We should act on this on March 15. If you're
interested in this, please come to the meeting, which will be
at 8:00 p.m. in the South Conference Room of the NEW Center,
1100 N. Main, AA.

Yuck. The MOTD is way too overused. I don't even read
it anymore except on demand, my demand. I bet more
and more folks are doing the same, or would be if
they knew how.

As I've said on M-Net, this is a good idea if the bot were to occupy a
seperate channel in party. Users should not be dumped into said channel
when starting party.

best yet: let the echo keep "dual-users" isolated in their
"togetherness"..
Not sure its a grand idea, but a 6mo test-period sounds
reasonable.

Oh, sure. Leave the robot alone in a channel to drone on and on,
probably until the end of the universe, boring itself to death, except
that it won't die. It will just continue to live in solipsistic
agony...

Get rid of srihai in party(main). It's very offensive, and people who find
it 'funny' are computationally unchallenged.

<shrug> I find srihai more literate and eloquent than over 50%
of the "non-automated" species.. Racist.

Hey, know what would be cool? an "3133t" bot, which pretends to be one of
those 12 year old hacker wannabes.... "I am ELEET! Please tell me how to
hack Windows since my sister changed my password and I can't get in". ;)

If I knew how to program ... I would
Or, I MIGHT be able to modify the srihai "conversation" source to create
a new bot, assuming ryan is willing to give me a copy of his source
code.
That might be kinda cool.

I just thought it might be fun to have a bot that pretends to be clueless...
or perhaps it could figure out when somebody else is asking for "hacker"
warez, and give disasterous device... "go to a DOS prompt and do 'deltree *
/y'... I guarantee you'll learn a lot about Windows"

Okay...what does the deltree thing do, Scott? =)
I think it sounds neat, though the lag issue would come up. I don't know many
m-netters because I don't feel like keeping up with another party window, and
I don't want to spend that much time on m-net because most of my friends are
on Grex. This would be helpful in that area, and (as stated), if Grex is
lagging I can log onto m-net.

Deltree is a dos program that deletes everything, even subdirectories.
The /y means that it automatically does it without asking if it should.
So, the command would delete your entire hard drive without asking if it
should.
