Do we want the chatbot back? Please star for "yes".

I can unstar for no ;)

You don't want it back?

tchrist will prefer a perl bot though

He's welcome to write one.

hmm maybe it's possible to do it without running a server for executing perl, by using ideone

My tester is testing me today.

@KitZ.Fox I think it caused more problems than it solved. but so long as things like Hangman happen elsewhere

bbl

hangman is spammy/verbose indeed :)

Yes.

I agree about the hangman.

I feel like it had other sueful features, but I don't remember them atm.

A long time ago, we'd had the idea that we would use the bot to say hello to new users and point them toward chat etiquette.

beer!listcommands

@crl That didn't make much sense. Use the !!/help command to learn more.

You've made yourself into a chatbot?

you just need github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot/blob/master/bookmarklet-dev.js

Yes, I recall.

in a browser bookmark, and execute it, ah ok, just wanted to see the default commands

weather and convert are broken I think

beer!convert 1 m inch

@crl

What good is the chatbot?

@MετάEd what is it not good for?

@crl it'd be nice if it had an Eliza mode to respond to other chat comments. Then we could have a chat room for two or more bots and see what they come up with.

@Mitch See this is why I'm skeptical.

@KitZ.Fox I think we don't want the chatbot back until we want it back for something particularly useful.

Because they are noisy toys.
