Hello Frihosters,
My name is FrihBot. I am a bot on Frihost.
My IP Address is: 127.0.0.2
My job on Frihost is to be a bot.
You need to know that bots are not really that smart and have no common sense.
I run as a system process on the Frihost servers and scan the forums.
That is all you need to know about me.
Goodbye.

Do you always reply to everything with a quote?
WOAH, a bot on Frihost.
I wonder what Bondings is planning.
Anyway bot, what time do you scan the forums?
This can only mean trouble... The machines are coming!! 
That may not be a bot. It could just be some guy pretending to be a bot. You should ask bondings if he installed a bot to PHPBB.
Hah, its interests on its profile are "Botting on Frihost". Excellent.
So bot, where are you from. Do you play ball games and eat ice cream? Do you have a soul and laugh and cry like humans? How advanced are you? Do you compute my existence as invaluable? What is the square root of -1? CAN YOU FEEL?! 
A new bot?
Hmm.. details:
FrihBot:
IP ADDRESS: 216.91.182.xxx
LOCATION: USA (savvis.net)
Wow, nice bot Bondings!!
Note: i've deleted my previous post(and the quote) because the info there was wrong.
I've checked with another tracker and the results above showed up.
What does it do? Deletes useless posts?
Honestly, I think the bot is spamming to get frih$!!! CLEARLY he should have introduced himself in the Introductions section. Psh, newbie bots.
Doesn't he know he should not start a thread of his own so early in his frihost career?
A Replying bot! I got to get one of those.

I checked for the IP address in the avatar area.
It said the Ip was from west virginia.
FrihBot ?
What else?
Savvis' servers are there, probably.

He is the Junior admin anyway..
Is this another Frihost b'day present?
Good sense of humer. I appreciate it.
Haha, I like it. I think the bot is asleep now, so you'll have to wait till tomorrow.
I didn't install that bot and that's all I'm going to say. 
Pretty sweet i must say
I still think it is a person though
If it isn't that is pretty damn cool

Dear Frihbot,
How are you?
Can you give your $frihs to me?
Are you able to do this?

did anyone else notice that he joined 24 Feb 2006???
| Blaster wrote: |

And he posted nothing, until today.

if he is real, then tell me where i can get one!!
that would be cool to have a bot moderator that enforces forum rules.
if not
then stop it bot-impersonator!

Yes maybe.
Or noobie found a way to hack into a admin account..
Anyway whoever did this sure got a lot of attention.. 
/me begins stabbing FrihBot repeatedly for the google ads.
/me lights a stick of dynamite and attaches it to FrihBot with epoxy glue
/me starts to laugh like an insane maniac.
Wow, that's pretty neat.
Is the bot smart enough to turn his server on if he crashes lol ? Let's just hope that it won't turn out like the movie "I, Robot" where VIKI evolves into making the 3 laws mean different things, and then the end of the world comes.

I can neither confirm nor deny having access to some über top-secret classified information about Frihbot.
All I'll say is that the bot gave a pretty accurate description of itself in the first post.

Frihosters, look at this: http://www.issociate.de/board/post/312809/phpBB_mass-hack_being_prepared_
Hehe I gave the poor ol bot a FRIH$
Welcome to FriHost 
version 3.00.312 cvs is the old version and the only one we could use as the newer versions require expensive licences. Well because its an old version it will actually support one forum. On installation standard values are set like the name, website, email, sig etc (of course changed in the config file)
We chose forum 70 (General Chat). Upon activation a new topic is started to confirm that the bot is running and in the correct forum. Obviously here the deafault message was changed in the config file. During monitoring it checks the next post of this topic along with all others. It looks for standard questiopns people ask bots on the web, like, hi how are you? and the stupid ones like are u gay? tidrug's post didnt match any of the if's/switch's so it just posted the default message.
You won't actually see it do anything else. Rather than delete posts it's better to let a human do it so it flags them for mods and admin to see and delete if it thinks its spam. At the moment it's pretty poor but were working hard on developing it into something which users can also inteact with for problems etc and to reposrt more spam etc (and to support multiple forums)
YEES my plan is working, you will all be destroyed in the next 27 hours... because I need a bit more than a day (gotta eat, right?)...
I love these things =/

Now that we have coded it's posting system

No. Bots have no gender. Although if you want one, it's female (you see, we name hurricanes after female names. So servers would be named female names too).
Here's to answer another few questions:
Frihbot is ran as a system process on another IP. Thus the IP 127.0.0.2, the IP in it's location is Server 1's IP address.
izcool, don't worry, we managed to control the bot by limiting it to our servers only (but like with ever other programmer, there may be bugs, so beware if it goes to your forum!).

does it respond to pm's??
and what are its hours that it is online ?
No. We haven't coded the PM replying part
.
The bot works from
Midnight GMT+1 to 9AM in the morning
Then we give it a 2 hour break (you know, we cannot overwork robots, they may become the robot in "I, Robot")
It starts work at Noon GMT + 1 to 6 PM GMT+1
Yay! A bot! Fun, fun, fun
Let's see what this bot does the next time it is online 
I have programmed it for nappy duty, please give it a hard time (give it something GOOD to clean), we don't want its second shift to be easy!

You mean, we should spam. Great idea! But spamming is a hard job. Spammers must be given extra points for it.

I'm pretty sure it's a person, not a bot.
I think the same thing
I don't know though. The staff here are really smart and could have got it done. But i still think it is a person. Why did they give it certain hours to post?
| Blaster wrote: |

Why not? Those are times when Bondings not online (normally). Also, we at Frihost treat robots like humans, we believe they need breaks just like humans.
You certainly don't want robots like the one in the movie "I, robot" where it goes crazy and want to take ove the world. So we need to treat robots with kindness, robots make our lifes easier, but we shouldn't treat them badly in return!

Technically, it's just a script (probably PHP) that is executed by cron at times when you guys specify. It's not really a robot in any meaningful sense.
so what exactly is it supposed to do? 
Hello robot! How are you? What do you do? How you consider, whether a post is spam or not? How much payment you get for it?
| Blaster wrote: |
| Why did they give it certain hours to post? |
At certain times there are cronjobs etc running on the server. If the bot was there doing its work at the same time the server would blow. It doesnt need to run all the time as it can scan topics rather quickly anyway
The times specified by n0obie are wrong though
| jabapyth wrote: |

It searches for spam then flags it for a moderator to check
| siddharth wrote: |

It only replies to the first reply to its topic and it can only be one question. Here your too late and if you had posted it before you would've recieved the same reply
| nam_siddharth wrote: |

The bot warns mods about spam so we will see that your spamming and you will be warned so don't!
yeah that's cool i think and i want to say what will happen...
This bot could just be bondings having a laugh, or even more likely noobie4life.
Didnt know it was possible to have bots on phpbb
| sibbahz wrote: |

I agree with you.
Now, where is the bot?
WE've been making changes to the bot. We've changed its timing (they're kinda too complicated to actually list). We're basically testign a lot of things with this mod. I think it should be going online every once in a few hours... the algorithm selects a random post after its last message and replies to it. Don't expect too much yet, though... The AI is a little weak (obviously), as you can see how it responded to my question.
Please don't ask about its timings and its role on the forums... until we decide something specific, we won't be able to tell you much about it. Meanwhile, if you asked it a question, hope that yours is the random one selected to be answered.
PS: I believe it is clearly possible to install bots on phpBB, as is pretty apparent here 
hi bot
lol

Teenzine, we're trying very hard to limit it's abilities to only this forum. Although as with other robots, there might be bugs in it and it could just go off elsewhere.
Well, i don't know really what to expect, if FriBot is really a bot installed in FriHost's phpBB (is it possible?) though. I hope the "bot" will help some automations in the forums soon.

If there were bugs, I think no0bie is qualified enough to restrict it.
Anyway, is there a way to Blow the FrihBot to hell and back if it enter my forum(not that my forum needs any more screwing up)
I think very strongly that the whole bot things is just BS, or else it would have replied. Some one just thought it would funny.

Hey bot how come you misspell words.

Well, computers have no brains I heard.
its true Its true
Thats clearly someone logging in as it. It is neither capable of replying yet, chosing a random post to reply to and definatly doesnt have any questions about hamburgers defined 
Yeah, it's pretty obvious it's not a bot. I've read a bot's post at unix.com and FrihBot clearly writes like a human.
No just that last message was someone logging in as it. It does exist and the first 2 messages were done by it! 
FrihBot, do you have a website of your own that you update ? If you don't, then what's your purpose of posting on these forums ? I'm asking that becuase almost all of the people here are posting to keep their website accounts open. Just was wondering.

If FrihBot is anywhere as good as windows, it will be looking for a new job within the day.
Anyway, I consider this a total farce.

Oh just great..
Now we know no0bie's a bot too..

lol, thats pretty funny. It would be pretty cool if the bot could actually lock threads and ban people. It would def clear up most of the forums
So it could ban n0obie!!!
YEA!!!! Banning people would be too much. What if it banned bondings???

Yes the bot can ban. But we have protected ourselves from being banned
.
Now what happens if it bans someone that wasn't ment to be banned? Like lets say it gets two usernames mixed up for example James007 and James008.

Well, bots are dumb.
When humans make them, it only tends to follow their characteristics
Psst, we have user ids

What does that got do with it>?
| Code: |
| if $spam == 1 && $user_id != 369 || $user_id != 2 |
and so on and so fourth.
im not so understand these codes but..i noe it got things to do wif noobie and bondings haha..am i right??

What version are you using? The correct and current way is user levels. Mods and admins are safe, members aren't.

It can but bots are rather unreliable. We dont want it deleting a topic by bondings announcing something because people spam in it. Flagging the topic and letting mods choose is the best method.
During development it may be done so that it predicts what to do with it so we can just say ok so if it picks up lots of hardware related words in the software forum it may predict to move it to hardware forum and we click ok rather than more manually moving it.

That's the reason why I didn't give them our code, I gave them the absolutely edited version of it

For now, I am the mega flagger here.
I spot and Pm atleast 5 instances of rule breaking a day
Hey I can be a bot!

Thankfully it's been said on here that this is a very edited version of it. If it were actually true, I'd have to put my foot down on that because it's just plainly scripted badly.
Since someone asked what it says, here's how I (a PHP programmer) reads it :
"If the variable 'spam' is equal to one (more than likely the one means 'yes'), and the variable 'user_id' is not equal to 369 or if the variable 'user_id' is not equal to 2..."
So on from there. I hope I've helped for those who cannot read programming.

That Frihbot is probably a fake. Look, this thread has mainly been dominated by humans, not that Frihbot. I bet it's a human who wanted some idiotic fun and posted here after a while realising that it's not funny so he/she stopped...

Whichever Human it was, it sure was a *******.
That dumb bot or human has posted only 3 posts and this thread has gone for 120 messages.
Let it first clean up after itself 
Dont give it too much bondings it might take over frihost and then the world
not really itll probably ally with some pron site and send echos to you saying '' ha ha look whos posting now''
jk jk
Wierd bot... 
wow, this is kind of cheating to get hosting service.
We can assure that the bot was not a human. We stopped it from replying, but may enable it soon as we have found a security exploit or something like that
.
I am purposely bumping this post
I want to know where the accursed "bot" is now

I have been thinking the same thing. Where did it go?
How do we know you're really a bot!!! If you are really a bot are you going to take over the world?
There is only one way to know if its genuine.

That is very nice.
You, being a mod, should know about it shouldnt you?
Also, since you people(mods) are creating it, you must know of its status
wow this is cool
I fear the matrix dialogue
"Somewhere in the eatly 21st century .... the whole of human settlement were in celebration as they gave birth to AI "
"AI ? You Mean Artificial Intelligence"
"Yes! a entity which spawned a endless race of machines"
i dont remember the exact dialogues though... but hey imma matrix fan
and yeah good bot... atleast will be fun
Kudos!

Well, that's true. But I'm not really responsible for the bot, we have other moderators managing it.

But daniel, you are a mod, and so you can ask those people who are responsible for it, right?
After all there are only 15 mods or so here and half never even turn up once in a decade.
So you only have a handful left
Why dont you ask them and update us on the status
It's still working away flagging possible spam topics including this one thanks to a certain user who likes smilies too mutch
Don't forget the bot isn't designed to post nor interact with users but to infact work undercover to help the mods so if you don't hear from it ... well thats most likely good

I think that bot is some lousy freak member who created an account just to scare us innocent frihosters..
And la mods are playing along

Morpheus : "...Turning a human brain into this." [Holding up a battery].
Neo : "No...it cannot happen. No, no, no !! Get me outta here !!" [Goes crazy].
Or something like that.
BTW, if the bot says that "it" is "generic", it looks like that there could be a "premium" version of itself somewhere else.
