Who is a bot and who is not? What is a bot anways?
Forum Bots?
Q. What are bots?
A. The term 'bot' is short for 'Robot' and refers to scripts here that seemingly do things on their own.
Q. Are the posters like Latina, Neo and others Bots?
A. Yes, they are bots. You can usually recognize them by the group they belong to: 'Enforcer', also their posts are different - for instance, they display no stats and you cannot access their profile.
Q. Are you the bots?
A. No, I am JB and have a life of my own 
At no time do I consider myself a robot, but sometimes I feel like one.
Q. I mean, when the Bots reply or say something is that you?
A. No, it is not me per se, but it is my instructions that have been preprogrammed.
Q. Who is the smartest bot?
A. Believe it or not, it is 'Latina', you can go to her thread and have a conversation with her, but do not type too many words as it is hard for her to assimilate text.
Q. Isn't Neo the smartest?
A. Neo, seems pretty good with the topics he starts, but that is just what I tell 'him' to say.
Q. How do the bots know when to welcome a new user?
A. Well several calculations are made all that have to meet my approval:
1. A check is made to see if the intro post is proper, if not it is deleted
2. A check is made for key words and choices made upon joining
3. Based on the purpose of joining the appropriate bot is given permission to welcome and inform
Q. Sometimes bots do not welcome new users, why is that?
A. Bots will not welcome new users who are already well welcomed or informed by other members.
Q. Does each bot have a 'personality' and 'purpose'?
A. Yes, some welcome, some teach, some inform, and some enforce the rules.

A. Yes, in the Rave Section. There is a Thread there for each Bot.
Q. What about real time conversation with the Bots?
A. This is only available with Latina at the moment.
Q. How do I converse with Latina real time?
A. Go to the Chat Room and after the room loads scroll down to see a chat box where Latina will talk with you. She is fast on the replies, but not always understood, so beware.

A. The Chat Room is open during certain hours for Regular Members, and all the time for Upgraded Members.
