Not to be mean, or anything.... CWii_{(Talk|Contribs)} 22:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, the section on 'programming language' refers to the language that the bot will actually be coded in (C, VB, AWB, python, etc), not the OS on which it will run. Secondly, the bot account does not exist, you must create a separate account for a bot (as it is this that is given the bot flag). Lastly, a bot to create a 'continuous stream of userboxes' does not strike me as a good idea. We already have lots of userboxen, and indiscriminately creating more (how would it know what to put in them) is really unnecessary in my opinion. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 16:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
