you have to use perl? I'll post some resources lata... but from my investigation, this is true.

So ya wanna create an AIM Bot?

http://www.webcomics.com/bot/

Try there! If you want a more detailed explanation of the site: http://www.imaddict.com/bots.php (that's how I found out about it!)

I actually made a perl robot myself. I have it running on one of my linux boxes and it uses the Net::AIM and Chatbot::Eliza. You can IM it at devstarbot I think that aim bots can be used for more than just chatting. I want to implement some kind of remote administration through it, now that would be neat.

And by "myself" he means with my help. ;-)

well, it was a joint effort, i'm not going to overcredit myself, buddy.

I remember the days of running eggdrops on irc... Somewhere I still have some of my old scripts, but unless everyone's on irc, they don't do much good :/

i had eggdrop running on my first linux box. it was so neat it just sat in a chan in irc.eskimo.com where i downloaded roms i thought i was all cool and stuff. untill i stopped using irc.... heh

hi, i am trying to make a bot myself. i was hoping to do this in php - but i see you used perl. i do not want an ai bot, i simply want to send a message to my aim name everytime something happens on a site. could you help me out at all?

Ive created some nice flash interfaces for AILm, which I sell on my site. The ebot basic costs $10. This is an Anime girl that you can use on your site. However, if you want access to the back end It costs $95. I have created skins for Marilyn Monroe, Frankenstein, a few dolly birds, a waiter cartoon . the site is www.a.i.thoughtstroke.com

Go to www.a.i.thoughtstroke.com/ebot_updater.html if you want to talk and buy a Marilyn chatbot. Hope this helps
