Recruitment idea: bon_bot (bun_bot, volume 69)

[mrs_bun]

Do you have to have admin powers to make bun bot go? Or can yall put her on any forum?

[Jabby]

an invasion, you say?

[mrs_bun]

Also, lol at my continued inability to spell my titles correctly.

But no, I am not suggesting an invasion. Just put her out there with a siggy link and let her do her thing.

[Tee See Em]

Crazy. You could even have her running on multiple servers at once, rotating through them so that by the time she returns to one her post delay time has elapsed.

Scary!

[Jabby]

i still say invasion.

bun_bot could be our cylon.

[mrs_bun]

The fun part will be deciding on the posts she'll use (forum game?)

[Hallways of Always]

bun_bot can only do so much.

A robot for each iconic Source member?

[mrs_bun]

We have to only use posts that have actually been used, tho. :stare:

[Shadow]

I'm for letting it invade other forums. Test it on Ihsan's site. :V

[mrs_bun]

Or wotc. THAT would be interesting.

and Jok3R!

wait, no. I don't think I have a notable identity at all.

[LegendShark]

I think letting that thing loose anywhere that's not here is a great idea.

[Tee See Em]

I am officially not condoning this. :V

[mrs_bun]

Is there interest in this idea?

[Tidal Kraken]

Make it post all of the good posts from here.

[jok3r]

I am officially not condoning this outside of Ihsan's site. :V

fix'd.

[jok3r]

Make it post all of the good posts from here.

we'd better get started if we want content, then.

[SizzlingStapleCider]

There is a possibility for hilarity, maybe even scandal. For these reasons, I am for this notion.

Maybe we could test it out a bit by making a sandbox thread for them in random general, or maybe locked away in another subforum if there is enough reason to be scared of these little monsters. o_o

[Zerg]

Let is go in Magic General!

[mrs_bun]

Will it be named after me? Maybe mrs_bun?

[mrs_bun]

What the ®®®® is the Internet?

[Penner]

What the ®®®® is the Internet?

A series of tubes!

[mrs_bun]

Hay bobbsey. :)

[Penner]

Hay bobbsey. :)

... how THE ®®®® did you get 750 posts?

[mrs_bun]

Sick drummage skillz?

Iono, jsut talking and posting.

[Jenius]

I am bun_bot
Fixed the explanation for you.

[Magic Stagstation]

I say go for it. As long as it isn't noticed as a Bot, it'll be pretty cool. Just up the AI.

[Fonzy]

This will definitely end poorly.

[Psion]

This will definitely end poorly.

Eh.

Note that only vBulletin forums will work. The code's pretty ®®®®ed up right now, probably because I was writing it in the middle of the night. :V

Oh and no, admin powers isn't required. Though it's easier to run when the admins don't care/support the idea. If it's a rather small, inactive forum, I guess it could run. I won't if nobody really supports forum invasion by bots, though.

[Shadow]

How about JB makes like a test forum so people an interact with the bot and test it?

Then we can let it invade other forums. :V

[PariahKing]

I am officially not condoning this.:V

[notallama]

I am not officially condoning this. :V

[mrs_bun]

Wotc is sort vb, right?

[Cee Pee]

Wotc is sort vb, right?
It is, though it is stated in the source code that it's version 3.6.4. This bot is designed for vBulletin 3.7, so possibly it won't work. I'm not going to try out though, or at least not yet; it just has not enough AI. :V

Edit: Also, yay 400th post.

I said that because it's obviously being tested against our board, but the code is all rather generic, I can't think of anything that should fail against any other 3.* vBs.

WotC's modified login system, however, might cause problems.

[mrs_bun]

If we manually log in then should it be okay?

[Cee Pee]

Ah. I have no clue how gleemax's login system works. :V

Though, bun might be correct: by logging in manually the first time, grabbing the right cookies, and sending these through the bot, it should work, right?

[Cee Pee]

Oh and JB, I might have sent you a patch about 24 hours ago. Disregard it, I'm making a new patch based on difference between my current code and head, so applying that older patch may conflict.
