Sorry, I just got this well weird feeling. A close friend told me to watch out for ben4808, becuase he might be a bot. Er, Ben's not a bot, right? Cause that would really spoil our friendship. I mean, if he's a bot, all those times I discussed my feelings with him were wasted. Please asure me he's not a bot. I like the guy. :) Posts: 275 | Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00 |

Ben is a bot. Aran scripted him up based on a newbie who used to hang around. EDIT: Shuan, stop trying to pull the poor kid's leg. That's just mean.

The "4808" refers to its coding. EDIT: Ben4808 may say that it is not a bot. Don't listen to him. That is just what it wants you to think.

I know a guy who made his own bot. It was incredibly good. Took him, like, four, five weeks to get it really good. Though, on a couple of the settings, it did have a tendancy to start trying to turn everything around and swear at you... O_o... Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

It's like a version number. Nothing to be scared about, in version 4.808 - and in fact since about 4.0 - he has been running somewhat stable. The earlier versions had been a little prone to get into discussions of religion. :P And no, you cannot have the source code... -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

He works the same way as iGod, but since it's on a message board and not a chatroom, it's easier to make him convincing. If his script doesn't know how to react to some comment, he just doesn't say anything. Plus, since he doesn't need to reply instantly, the computer can devote more processing power to developing a good response. -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash.

Believe it or not, Ben isn't the only Bot on these forums. Aran's magnum opus is a bot that we call Alorael, who's ever-changing moniker was actually an early attempt to hide its identity. This failed, which forced Aran to create the signature signature with which we are all familiar. :D -------------------- The Silent Assassin is now under the delusion that he is a subject in a medical laboratory, and that this universe was created to decieve and test him. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny?

quote:Now, now. You really should be here longer before you can start telling your theories about what happened when. In fact, the signature bit was first. It was a kind of hallmark I put on Alo 0.1 to get some sort of stable pattern into his posts - you'll notice that his posts are structured far more consistently than that of others*, and are therefore easier to generate despite their complex content and the deep analytic power that is inherent in them. This depth, combined with a truly stunning frequency, could only be achieved with a truly optimized program running on a dedicated server (which runs on a herbal extract you may also know by the name "Skribbane"). The name change is just something I coded in in protest back in 2004 when Drakey refused to give him a custom title. Drakey, of course, has known about the truth behind Alorael almost since the beginning, and what he told me was some variant of "No, you will not get a custom title for a spam bot you wrote, no matter how deep his posts. Now scat." * Edit: By which, of course, I do not mean that the other members on this board are *also* bots I coded. Honestly. I mean, Ed, would you truly believe I would set up a message board and populate it with my AIs simply to make a fool out of you? Uh...

I want to make a point: STOP DOING IT. Why are you so horrible? Leave me alone, please. SPRING? KARIN? Who is it who wants to be so horrible. Just leave me alone, please... I feel so bad that someone here hates me enough to force me to leave. I love this place so much... Posts: 275 | Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00 |

Don't be silly, Spring. It's really not that hard to set up a bot these days if you know what you're doing. Unfortunately, my attempts haven't been too successful. They both got banned for spamming, and then I got a warning from Stareye not to make any more. Aran and Thuryl are much better botmasters than me. -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash. Dammit, even JV had to think twice.
