is there absolutely no chance at all to get a copy of ZeroBot?

lol dude.
even if he gave u a copy why would u want it. theres a good chance it sends out ur keys and pass's to him.

Why do you reply to my post?  Only Skywing can answer my question.

Actually, I can answer it too.

QuoteLike BinaryChat, ZeroBot is not being publicly distributed. Asking for it will most certainly guarantee that you will not receive a copy of it.

Which you have just done.

Quotewill most certainly guarantee...

It gives you a portion of hope.  

most != almost

Most certainly means there is no chance whatsoever.

and NetNX - You obviously know nothing about skywing.. why would he want anybody's key?  Why wouldn't he just get them from bnls which, last time I checked, has a bijillion logon's per day?  Not that he does, but if he wanted to he could :-P

As a current maintainer of Zerobot source code, I can tell you with absolute certainty that Zerobot has no facility for stealing cdkeys or passwords.  Additionally, I can take a good guess as to why he wants it: between what Skywing originally designed and the enhancements I've put onto it, it's now a very effective channel moderation bot.

It was already a very effective channel moderation bot.  Some of the enhancements you made were needed, some were not, and others have resulted in fighting within the clan.  Random idle bans, leet name bans, all these new unban restrictions .. I don't like any of them.  As a member I should be able to ban/unban anyone I want, even if the bot thinks the person would just be banned again.

The bot is not a clan member last time I checked.  It shouldn't be able to override the wishes of members wanting to ban or unban a visitor.

While you are correct that Zerobot will decline to unban individuals it would promptly ban, recent versions (check changelog) provide a way to override that and force it to unban anyway.  The ability to detect and decline was inserted after seeing many instances in which an individual would run afoul of something (perhaps a new tagged name joins), get banned, member would unban, and then proceed to have the name get banned again - because he didn't think to actually resolve the issue by safelisting it.

Random idle ban (which, btw, is neither random nor for idle) has been around for quite some time.  It was only recently that it began identifying its actions under a unique ban reason ("random").  Leet name ban was an amusing idea that I put in, and has so far received very little direct feedback to me.  If it bothers you after you see its internal ruleset, it can be removed or made controllable.

Also, just +F people so they won't be randombanned (or l33tbanned?)

Quotehas a bijillion logon's per day?

I'm impressed. I knew BNLS was popular, but that IS a good  stat  

**Gaahhh**, you trashed my post with of topic spamming!! That would make me the rightful owner of a copy of ZeroBot!

I deserve that now!

Last time I checked, you never checked. But your guess is approximately right.

could we get an exact number
