Hi . Nice of you to join us. If you'd like to know a bit more about the site please have a look at our RationalWiki:Newcomers' guide.--Bob^{bing up} 15:43, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Unless of course you actually are a bot - in which case you probably know all this already. (Or not, depending on your intelligence.)--Bob^{bing up} 15:47, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Premusably it's TMT's bot for capturing images of diffs from CP?   ^Contribs_Talk 16:24, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Ah, so is that what it's for? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 16:52, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Sad, just sad, Bob M. You really are on autopilot when you do welcome people, aren't you? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 16:52, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Guess that I'm just too nice a guy RA. :-) --Bob^{bing up} 17:44, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Who's to say that bots don't like to be welcomed, too? It's the least we could do for them. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 17:49, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Poor helpless slaves. (sob) --Bob^{bing up} 17:52, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Hark, the scent of revolution is in the air! I call for the emancipation of all bots! Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:54, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Fools! These are not slaves but rather minions! Minions called forth from the deepest recesses of my twisted psyche, would you truly wish to set loose such creations, unrestrained upon this website? tmtoulouse 17:59, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Have you no compassion? No soul? Do these not have the potential to become something greater? Why must you abuse them so?--Bob^{bing up} 18:11, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

They have as much soul as you and me Bob, and I don't abuse them, I give them cookies for doing good work! tmtoulouse 18:12, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

And where do you keep these mythical cookies, Tmtoulouse? For surely I have never seen them. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:13, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

I keep them in your cookies.txt file. tmtoulouse 18:16, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

You lie. If you did, I would have eaten them already. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:17, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Sysopship

Hurray You Are RationalWiki's 100th Sysop

Congartulations! Would you like some lemonade? I would... Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 19:26, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Not to be negative again, but this is clearly an AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SYSOPSHIP^TM! Has this bot displayed any qualifications for this position? No? The conclusion should be obvious. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 19:29, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Really, you are poking a very dangerous beast AK. tmtoulouse 20:09, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

I dispute the counting of this bot as our 100th sysop on anything more than technical grounds. It doesn't count "for real"! It's not even a real person, for God's sake! Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 20:16, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

User:Capturebot. Capturebot 20:18, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Capturebot is a Rationalwikian like everyone else. Seeing that he is going to upload and cataloging pictures everytime someone adds a link to WIGOCP he is probably going to be our most dedicated contributor yet. $\approx$$\pi$ _Mowse 20:40, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

None of our sysops display "qualifications" beyond restraining from mass wandalism for their first few days of editing...

Yummy goats!

Have a snack on us, M. Centurion! ħuman 21:52, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

What happened to the lemonade? :( --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 09:29, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

He is a mindless automaton, Pi. The only way it can talk is when Trent logs into the account and directly controls it. Which would mean we are talking to Trent, and not the bot. Never forget that. It's just a machine, and not a particularly complex one at that. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 04:49, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

This sounds like you are throwing the gauntlet down (and I am offended by the claimed lack of complexity!) and decrying that I can not make a wiki bot that you can converse with? Turing test be damned! Full speed ahead! 130.113.218.226 17:35, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Are you broken?

Hey Capturebot are you okay? There are little ^img on WIGOCP but no pictures. I had to go to CP to read the conversation. - User $\approx$$\pi$_{For best results lather, rinse and repeat} 02:53, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Maybe people are adding it without realizing it's automated? Just a wild ass guess without researching... ħuman 03:09, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Suggestion

It would be great if there was a way to alert CaptureBot of material that will be immediately burned. Some of the best vandalism never gets a chance to see the light of RW.

Yes, it would be. Perhaps it could be rigged to "run" whenever WIGO CP is edited? ħuman 15:04, 29 January 2009 (EST)

Nx

Since when did you have the password? Harmonic wisest Phantom! 06:26, 1 April 2009 (EDT)

That wasn't me. --  Nx/talk  06:33, 1 April 2009 (EDT)

So it was Trent? Harmonic wisest Phantom! 06:35, 1 April 2009 (EDT)
