[about]

vBFAQbot is a hack that adds a bot to your forum that answers people's frequently asked questions, or you can set it up to reply to specific triggers (they don't have to be FAQ questions). For example, you could let the bot give a list of rules when someone types !rules.
The bot is an AI bot (alicebot) but has no AIML pre-written and is therefore not AI. :)
vBTeachbot (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=48291) is integrated with vBFAQbot, but it can also be used as a seperate hack with Tombot (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=48053). vBFAQbot is based on C.Birch's Tombot so big thanks to him. :) vBTeachbot lets you write custom aiml to use with your AI bot.

[note]

I wrote some real great instructions earlier, but overwrote the file, so if you think these instructions are crappy you know why. It annoys me, but I like to keep a happy face. :D

C.Birch, for his Tombot (AI bot) hack. :p

Ooh... looks good... :) My fear is that my members will try to chat with this bot like they do the other one. ;)

Hehe, thanks. :)

That reminds me, if you're using both an AI bot and a FAQ bot, make sure to set them up on seperate databases or it won't work. :)

I like :) Erwin does bring up a good point though.

Wow... too bad it is still the alicebot which requires PHP 4.04 or higher... damn 4.03...

Geeze, your host is still in the stone-age.. tell them to get with times! :)

if they say no, then find a host that keeps their servers up to date, imo.
