Bot ideas

[filburt1]

I feel the need to write bots. Ideas?

Already done: HelperBot (replies with seemingly relevant thread links)
Can't easily be done: GoogleSearchBot (replies with Google hits)

BTW you can see HelperBot at http://www.webdesignforums.net/membe...nfo&userid=719 .

Transformerbot - make your computer transform into a robot that fights evil Decepticons.

Voltronbot - make 5 cat robots join together to form one big robot.

R2D2bot - make a trashcan beep

Terminatorbot - make a bot that kills other bots while saying "Hastalavista... botty"

Ran out of ideas... well, start coding!!!

/me finishs all of them

Any actual ideas?

Okay seriously...

Censorbot - a bot that detects censored words, and makes a post warning the poster after the offending post.

Congratulatorybot - a bot that makes a posts after the post of a member when the member has made 1000 posts (or something like that).

Flamingbot - a bot that detects flaming (by looking at certain keywords like "you idiot" or "you are stupid" and makes a post in that thread to ask people to calm down.

That's it for now...

Good ideas except 2 IMO because it encourages excessive posting.

Somebody would have to come up with a list of insults for #3 though because I only know so many ways to trash somebody

Hehe there are huge lists of bad words out there I can help you there if you want hehe

[Dominick]

my idea in my eyes owns all others

pinky and the brain bot

you say something

brain says somethin
then pinky
or vice versa


example

you: I need to go on a vacation
brain: pinky are you thinking what I am thinking
pinky: I think so brain, but if you cooked sushi then wouldnt it be coochie

bad joke but get the idea

(note: after that joke, you probably woudlnt want me to write pinky or brains ai...)

The intent is a useful bot, not a chatterbot...
