journey_man 0 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I see we have a new Moderator called SJBot. Do you guys have an android wandering around the SJ offices? That would be so cool, he could take out the trash and shovel the front door! Is he called Sonny? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 if its a bot - am assuming he/she/it has pre-programmed routines to delete posts that contain anything in the FAQ's that are banned. This thus allows the hardworking mods to go out and do what this site is about - skiiing/snowboarding in Japan just a guess Link to post Share on other sites
journey_man 0 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 It's tempting to test Sonny out... Cept I wonder if the three robotic laws would be sufficient to prevent being AutoBotBanned??? Link to post Share on other sites

gerard 6 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Sci-fi movies like the Matrix come to mind. Hope you guys keep SJbot on a tight leash! (perhaps, I've said too much. Better to stay on SJbot's good side!) Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Bots are usually the roaming spy's for ad servers, but as SJ is advertising free....got me beat! The site I used to Mod on used Google Ads, and there were 5 different bots all belonging to Google that performed checks on the posts to make sure there wasn't any "Click the links, keep this site financial" type cheats. Look forward to hearing what SJBot is... Link to post Share on other sites

journey_man 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 I see Sonny has been busy messing with the Chat Box! I wonder what else he messes with. Anyone found out yet? (By accident of course ) Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Who is Sonny? Link to post Share on other sites
journey_man 0 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Sonny is the star android in I Robot. Maybe SJBot isn't quite up to that level yet... Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I know DOS. Can anyone remember this ancient art of dossing? Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 dossing...we did a lot of that at school....and i also remember my doss bag...very comfortable Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Reminiscing about the old days.... Sad to say but "Computing" in Year 10 for me consisted of marking cards to feed into this huge machine and a blackboard explanation of 01010101010111000 LOL! Then nothing until the compulsory first year Computer Science unit at Uni where we leart to program in basic, and some other bizarre geek speak language that I have long since forgotten. Glad to say I am much more proficient with a keyboard nowdays! I am the households troubleshooter - but despite the family's confidence that "Mum'll fix it!" I think the ship is the Titanic...all we need is one good Iceberg and it is Sayonara baby! Link to post Share on other sites
