eboyjrSomeone should remove the !anything factoid.03:03
eboyjrBecause when you type !blah, It says Factiod blah not found, not I dont know about blah.03:04
eboyjrOr at least change it03:04
stdinmaybe the default "I don't know" reply will be changed to what it was with ubotu, I'd rather not delete !anything just yet03:10

eboyjrWhat is the command for ubottu when people aren't saying who they are talking to?05:08
eboyjr!who05:08
ubottuAs you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)05:08
eboyjrOkay, thanks, bye05:08

tonyyarussoeboyjr: Our bots do not have the capacity for games right now.  Frankly, that plugin shouldn't even be awake and responding.07:02
tonyyarussoI wish we could, but just don't have the resources at the moment.07:03
eboyjrI understand.07:03
eboyjrIs that why ubotu is replaced with ubottu?07:03
tonyyarussoWell, it's a long story of insufficient botness and administrative problems.  The name change is just one of the chapters, and will likely happen more.07:04

ubottuAfroRowan: Please keep in mind that this channel is for operator/abuse questions only, and we ask you to part when you have no further business here, in order to keep track of users with pending inquiries.12:15
SWATbazhang: I'm wondering about that myself.12:16
bazhangAfroRowan: if you have no pressing issues, please depart the channel12:17
bazhangSWAT: he is away12:20
SWATbazhang: I don't know him and atm don't know what he needs me for. He basically asked in dutch "Are you there?12:21
SWATAfroRowan: if you have any pressing issues (operator related), please contact me (you may PM me).12:23
SWATthat should suffice12:23
bazhangSWAT: should remove him? he has been idling for nearly an hour here12:24
SWATbazhang: if I can be honest, I don't care atm. If there was anything pressing, he should've included that in his opening statement. He doesn't bother anyone, so I let him idle a bit (give him time to get back and read the messages. He can always be removed at any given time)12:26
bazhangSWAT: he is online and speaks english perfectly well12:27
PriceChildbazhang: heard of him before he entered this channel?12:29

ompaulSeeker`, perhaps but it is a way to have a single connection 24/7 to irc and then be able to log in and out and do stuff based on materials found there - as in whatever you can think of doing with data in IRC18:54
