New Name of this Forum
 
 

Today, we’ve changed the name of this forum to ‘ AI Zone’. Primary reason is that Robitron Founder Robby Garner and I couldn’t agree upon a bi-directional synergy. We’ve done everything we could to find a compromise, but we’ve decided to separate the Robitron Forum from the Robitron Mailing List.

We’ll continue to promote the forum wherever we can and we’ll also setup new forums in AI research, human animation and robotics which are within the scope of Chatbots.org.

Obviously, Robby will still be listed as a featured member of Chatbots.org due to his great contribution to our field by setting up the Mailing List back in 2002.

Keep you posted. Chat to you soon!

Erwin,

Sorry I couldn’t offer you the cornerstone of support that you needed. I think you’ll find yourself better off to develop your forum’s own unique identity.

Good luck and best wishes.

Cheerio,

Robby.

@Erwin:

I suggest renaming “AI Zone” to “Chatbots.org” and the “Chatbots.org” forum to “Administration” or “Management” forum.

The reason for this suggestion is to increase brand awareness for Chatbots.org. 
Usually the Admin forum goes mostly unused, while the public forum sees heavy usage.
The forum name “AI Zone” may indirectly promote http://www.aizone.com which may instead be renamed to directly promote http://www.chatbots.org

NOTE: This is simply an opinion which may suggest an improvement for Chatbots.org.  It is only meant to help promote, not to criticise the Chatbots.org team which has done an extraordinary job on this forum already.  No objection to deleting this comment.

@Robby:

You are more than a cornerstone, you are a pillar of the chatbot community.

@ 8-man: cool idea to rename the chatbots.org forum!! I agree with you that it’s confusing. Something like ‘admin’ or ‘management’ would indeed be better. Never thought about that. Let me sleep about it for a few nights.

Keep you posted.

ps no apologies needed grin

Yes Erwin,

I just wanted to share some knowledge and experience. Currently both “AI Zone” and “Chatbots.org”  are well organized in the layout under the “Forums” tab.  It is very easy to use.  Congratulations on ease of use, because that is important.

By the way, my “Admin” forum suggestion is not my idea.  I suggest it merely as an option,  because Chatbots.org is more than a forum.  In the past, I’ve noticed that “Admin” forums, after the intial setup, may go several months without any “Admin” forum activity.  This is a good sign, because it means everything on the busy public forum is running smoothly.

@8-man. That’s right. We’ll also use our admin forum (I like the name, we’ll implement this one!) to share software modules we’ve created with Expression Engine (our CMS) developers, for bugs and feature requests (we’ve actually moved this secition from the Robitron pilot to this area) and for ‘frequently asked questions’  by the media.
