Firstly DM and DS, can I say that the interactive bot, Jester, on the home page of the website is a fantastic addition, and I've already had fun chatting to her. I understand that it is not an easy program to add into a website, Im not sure who was responsible, so I congratulate you both on a job well done.

Like most people though, I am quite greedy! Now you have proved what you can do, I was wondering...

On a previous and long since deleted TYW forum a version of the Alice bot program, similar to the interactive one on the website, was integrated with a phpBB forum such as this. It simply replied to posts made in the forum with the same comic responses. Of course the old version was restricted to the Spiral Staircase only. I'm sure DS knows exactly what I mean... If that program is still available, would it be at all possible if this could be introduced onto this forum?

On a completely separate note... could a link back to the website home page be included at the top of the forum please?

i will have a look but i cant make any promises due to the fact that the forum is free, resulting in the fact i cant access the ftp account to add forum mods but if ill see if there any replacements

Ah. I had a feeling there might be some restriction preventing it for free sites... guess they have to keep something back to convince people to part with hard earned cash. No bother.
