- Hardly. Ok...you tell me how to resolve this problem, and then maybe
- it will work. Who would run this one bot? EVERYONE would want to run
- it so they can say it's their bot. If someone else runs it it's no fun.
- Why do you think so many people have them instead of sharing them?
-
- I'll run it. I have a "bot" that anyone can telnet to and give a
- nickname to launch the bot. It's one program. Everyone gets the same
- code. Hell, you don't even have to think-- just telnet in, give
- user@host and what channel you want to be OP on... and boom, another
- bot is born.
