best bot functions - what you can use a bot for

Since most networks have services that can help you secure your chan i think the focus went onto little timesavers (like google, weather, translations, news, you name it).

I for myself only run a news script for ~100 pages, some weather and translation stuff and many kinds of automated stuff (long time ago i even ordered my pizza with my egg)

PS: I agree with dollar, shouldn't this thread be in the Eggdrop Forum?

It should! Moderators?

Well, it's good for many things, but not for protecting channels anymore...

Hmm .. Have to dispute that statement. A properly configured eggdrop on a decent (and reliable) shell connected to a reliable IRC server and using correctly coded scripts (also not being over loaded with too many useless ones) I find to be very effective at channel protection. I have 17 eggdrops on two networks (one being DALnet) running scripts by slennox and MC_8 (as well a couple I have written) and am very happy with their response times in all matters channel protection.

I started using eggdrops in 1999 and in my humble opinion they are only getting better.

Well, it's good for many things, but not for protecting channels anymore...It is just to slow It can be good for info bots, which react on command like is !server de, !google etc or trivia...But if you want them for protection, get some others bots, there are many faster

Hello, hope you don't mind this kind of post in here, but I want to discuss ideas of uses of bots, and am interested in what bots are used for. This is of course excluding giving ops, seen function, stats...

For example I've seen weather info bots, dictionary bots, google search ones, AI chatting ones, topic keepers in non-mode chans, and a bot that checks planetary movement at your timezone.

The dictionary bot has been very useful, and it also had a quote function of famous philosophizing ppl. What other good uses of bots have you seen? Do you have some wicked ideas of new functions?
