Not a bad idea but seems a bit like over complicating things. I'll just disable command autocompletion. They are nicely displayed in help window, it is easy to copy paste them from there. Thanks.
Well over complicating is not what I would have said But anyhow I think my idea of adding bunch of preset answers or sentence which you could quickly add is not that bad.
I should perhaps consider adding this Don't some of you think so ?

A few things happened after upgrading MGC.
I used to use MGC before and it work great, I thought by upgrading it would be even better.
But after I upgraded I experience a few hiccups.
#1- In images\misc\mgc_cb_evo\channels, there are NO images. I have to scrap from other sites.
#2- Successfully upgraded chatbox. The forum load very slow and I am 100% sure this is caused by MGCEvo. (turned off MGCevo and everything back to normal)
#3- The chatbox keep saying "loading". All my previous chat transcript are available in archive but on the main display, nothing shown. Just a plain boring "loading" text.
So, can anyone advise me on what should I do?
VBDev?
Personally I think this would vary from forum to forum like for instance a sports forum could have staff added specifically for the bots process & they could add each days sporting events & times.
For a developer website they could have the answer to the question "where do I go to buy X" & the bot would reply with the appropriate link & such.
This would be a HUGE leap forward for this modification & one step closer to being an mIRC like chat script without all the hassle.
Best of luck in your decision & I look forward to see the results!
Some users reported that sometimes the shouts won't be sorted correctly.
They think it has something to do with the team shouts. Can you please check this?
Come on skype

Also, your zip file missing an image.

The javascript loading is a bit slow at startup, try setting yui files to be loaded from your server rather than yahoo server in the chatbox options.
