Mon, 09 May 2005 00:42:13 +0000 *AIM WARNING -IMPORTANT* http://www.lots-a-bots.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=485 AIM has worked in something into their service to kill bots. What they do is they detect repeated links given by an sn within a certain amount of time. If they detect this, they will either change the password, suspend the account, or block the account from signing on. My advice is to remove any links from your bot's replies as a safe guard,.. especially if it has a lot of activity. If it is necessary for your bot to have links, just try to reduce them as much as possible. It is probably OK to show a link once in awhile. The problem is repeating the same over and over again. This will cause AIM to see your bot as a spam bot even though your bot is most likely not a spamming bot, and just providing links. There are a couple mods out there that provide links for people. I would not worry about those. The link provided by the bot is almost always different and the repetition is very unlikely.

Sun, 21 Nov 2004 05:29:41 +0000 We are on our way http://www.lots-a-bots.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=264 Only one half of a month is remaining until we release Lots-A-Bots publically. If you are involved in the development of this product and do not yet have a bot, you can get one now by emailing me. Anyone else wanting a bot will have to wait. I would like to thank everyone who was helped us on the beta testing of Lots-A-Bots. We have closed over 60 bugs in two months and we have progressed significantly. At this point, the majority of features are complete. The remaining features include AOL support, chatroom support, module sharing (in progress,) web chat, and various user interface improvements. Right now the place where we need the most help is beta testing.

The bug reporter is available to the public, too, so if [i:9c329e9d09]you find a bug, please[/i:9c329e9d09] report it at http://www.termee.com/bugzilla/ .
