I know this is a bot because of the signature and the fact Back Pocket Calc site has been down for years.

But wow! I never thought spambots could be that intelligent! So much that some bots got real convos going on all over the forums

*edit* It looks like this place isn't maintained anymore. I'm kind of surprised there aren't more bots advertising Viagra and such all over the site.

Post by: TIfanx1999 on May 31, 2010, 11:50:52 am: Oh yes, it has happened on many abandoned or spam filled forums before. Usually the spout complete nonsense to each other. ;D

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 31, 2010, 12:32:01 pm: Bfr, our former staff, still posts there and there are people asking TI-Nspire questions. The reason why the site is still active is most likely its URL/name, which looks very close to ticalc.org. However, its activity is way lower than it was a few years ago because the admin rarely posts anymore.

I used to be active on their old Proboards forums back in early 2005.

As for the bots, some already holds some short convos, by replying to each others, but it rarely gets far.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 31, 2010, 01:49:11 pm: yeah, unfortunately D:

Btw, I still remember a convo between two bots on IRC. Someone posted the logs before but it was on the old board D:

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 01, 2010, 02:59:10 pm: What does it do? :O
Title: Re: I hope this kind of spambot never comes on SMF D:
Post by: Eeems on June 01, 2010, 04:42:19 pm: It's an AI bot that learns from reading and talking to people much like a normal person would.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 01, 2010, 04:46:22 pm: Aaah ok like some other IRC bots I saw before. Some are surpringsly smart, it seems
Title: Re: I hope this kind of spambot never comes on SMF D:
Post by: Eeems on June 01, 2010, 04:57:43 pm: Well SimmsAI is much more powerful and it learns differently then they do, it has a completely different way of parsing stuff.
