Bot

Listed here are the bot's enabled features and settings. Information about the bot's features is also available by asking it directly for "help", and then for more detail with "help <feature>" (such as "help Drupal URLs"). This would best be done in a private message, so as not to disrupt regular channel activity.

The bot connects to server irc.arcti.ca as nick bot_bbot.

  • Factoids: Set factoids with "BOTNAME: cats are furry", "BOTNAME: Drupal is great.", "No, BOTNAME, Morbus is awesome.", "BOTNAME: Drupal is also powerful.", "BOTNAME: cheer is <action>cheers for !who in !channel!", or "BOTNAME: ping is <reply>WHAT?!". Retrieve factoids with: "Drupal?" or "BOTNAME: cheer!" Forget factoids with "BOTNAME: forget ping". Factoids are also online at <http://www.gaycyberchat.com/bot/factoid>.
  • Logging: Logging has been enabled for some or all channels at <http://www.gaycyberchat.com/bot/log>.
  • Project URLs: Displays the title of project URLs; multiple URLs in a single message are acceptable. Also supports numerical IDs such as "#12345" or "4321", but only if that is the entirety of the message and the number is within a configured range. Popular and recent URLs are tracked at <http://www.gaycyberchat.com/bot/project_urls>.
  • Seen: If someone asks "seen Morbus", the bot will report the last time they've been seen, where, and what their last known message was. Directly addressing the bot will also allow the more complex syntax of "seen Morbus? seen d8uv?", "have you seen sbp?" and similar forms. * can be used as a wildcard, but only with a minimum of three other characters. A maximum of three results are displayed for any one request.
