Why not just make a 'CupHead make me a bot' thread?  

iago's little ss of whatever that is would be pretty cool.  I don't know if it is real, but oh dang.

It's not, technically, my screenshot.  It is from a different thread.  See if you can find the original author!

Been there, done that.

Yeah, that didn't work so well, seeing as how I got bored after about a week.  Still, it was a pretty productive week.  Anyway, pertaining to CSB:

How would people feel about a CSB-Free and a CSB-Pro version?  The Pro would naturally have more features, be more expensive (as in actually have a price like $5 or something), and just generally be better.

Wouldn't charging for such software allow Blizzard to take legal action?
Additionally, I think it's a really lame idea (personal opinion, though).

I don't think it's a lame idea as long as these are facts:

- The "pro" edition's features have nothing to do with the Battle.net connection, i.e. allowing Diablo II realm logon on the "pro" edition but not allowing it on the regular edition (EDIT) would be a bad idea

Oh, I guess I only needed to state one fact.  That's Battle.net, and everything else... is everything else.  Everything else works universally.

If it's such a bad idea, then people should feel free to write their own.  CSB is a decent amount of work that I really don't want to do, and to be honest, I have no incentive to do.  The only reason I'd complete it is to get rid of the people who bother me about making a new one.  I figure if it's worth their time to bug me, it's worth some money for me to waste hours on something I don't want to do.  (Oh my gosh, it's like having a job!)  So, either plan on paying or not getting what you want.  Either way is fine with me.

Personally, I think if you sold a CSB Pro you sell strictly your work, not the content.  Make that totally clear when you sell it.

"Not the content" ? Content of what?

You don't think piracy will be a problem btw?

knowing how many people use CSB and want it  wc3/tft logins many will pay... 5$$ maybe even.. 10$ .... Your Call your work... im using CSB now... on a webbot/ops i made for me.. and i know i would pay 5$ to make it wc3/clan support cause i run a wc3 clan...and that would be really use full , typing .des .rejoin is no fun...

I think it's perfectly reasonable to charge for a Pro version. Just a thought, releasing a new version won't stop people bugging you...you'll have to go through the whole tutorial thing again AND people will still want to add more features for the next version ;-)

I believe the old CSB was fine and still works perfectly fine.   Most people that bother you are most likely people that don't have the effort to solve problems themselves...

Was Cleanslatebot intended for users to learn programming and the workings battle.net? OR Was is it intended to be used as a crutch for programmers?

As we can see with Stealthbot, CSB in the right hands can be a powerful tool....

I personally would like to see an idiot kill feature on Battle.net, which would induce an instant apocalyptic firestorm on stupid people (I.e, users typing in all caps, calling other people "noobs", spamming to join clans, etc.)

I can't see any any way you could do that without Blizzard sueing you at some point. You'd be making money by selling a product for which all the technology was reverse-engineered (IE, stolen) from Blizzard. It violates their EULA and although that's not illegal, it would certainly violate some of the retarded copyright laws you guys have.
