I have had many bots in the past. I use to run them off RunABot, but the servise with them became so aggravating that I quit. I didn't even like the program you used to run the bot. I've decided to install Perl on my home PC and run my bots. You run the bots with MSDOS. I use Decyphile for my bot. But anyways, I don't use my bots much any more... maybe when I get DSL... and when It can be online a long time. I'm on 56k now.
Im also on a 56k, and my bot is a runabot. I dont like it much either, i dont want to pay for more room, because Im supposed to get 4000 replies, and i only have 100 on him, and it wont let me have any more , I dont know why.
