Nice Hack! I was thinking about something like this a while ago.

/me will install when he gets home!

My server is supposed to get a big upgrade soon. :)

I like it very much will install

* Clicks Install

small question, if i use this on my forums, will it kill off my server, i only have 15GB bandwidth and around 8 active members around the clock

I wouldn't call it resource hogging at all, and you will not see an increase in bandwidth usage.

This is a nice little bot. But yes, i would be afraid my members would try and chat with it. ;)

About the questions, in order for the bot to respond, do the questions have to be verbatim?

ie...If I input into the system the question: "What are forum points?"....but the poster asks: "wtf are forum points?", or "what is a forum point?"....will the bot respond, or ignore because it is not verbatim to the inputted question.

If it's verbatim, then I can't see much purpose for this as one would have to input all possible combinations of a question for a valid response.

You can use:
* forum points

and the bot will respond to both:
'wtf are forum points' and 'what are forum points'

The * (or _ ) will serve as a wildcard.

Yes, djr is correct. Using * is quite effective, I've started writing my FAQ aiml now. :)
