Sheesh, I slack off the Dope for two or three days, just to do some actual work, then I come back and every freakin’ thread I was participating has dropped 10 pages back.
Or even worse, there are those days when you can’t even get up to go to the bathroom without coming back to find that the new thread you were about to post to now has 5 pages of responses and it’s all been said. Nothing like adding that irrelevant “me too” to the seventh page of a thread that no-one’s ever going to look at again.
Except, where are the Eliza-style questions? Must be more sophisticated bots here. On the other hand, I think I can recognize some of the more basic models:
The Cecil-Is-Wrong-Bot
The Evolution-Is-Wrong-Because-God-Says-So-Bot
Yes, come to think of it, the responses these bots give are pretty consistent.
Anything is possible. Hell, there’s a possibility of an drunken alien monkey invasion during the next full moon. It just ain’t likely. That said, it’s very possible the moderators are drunk monkeys. At least in my case.
