This was posted on the Robitron boards and I thought I would post it here in case anyone wants to enter:

Hello,

I would like to invite all botmasters to enter The International Chatbot Contest. First let me say this contest is not unique. It is basically the CBC with a bit of the Chatbot Battles thrown in. In fact, the website, the rules and scoring, etc. are virtually identical to the old CBC. For more details please visit the website at http://contest.atwebpages.com/

The prize money is set up in a way to encourage participation and for fellow botmasters to encourage other botmasters to enter. The more people that enter the more you have to win. For every bot that enters the contest I will award $100 in prize money up to $5000.

For example:

10 people - $1000
25 people - $2500
37 people - $3700
50 or more - $5000

So please get the word out. I look forward to your participation.

I'm not even going to think about entering Legion in to this until I can convince myself that it's real.

The site is a sub domain from this highly professional looking web host that has spent a long time on their homepage and doesn't have any images missing.

But don't take my word for it, check it our for yourself

Hehe! I just posted the thing. I cannot vouch for it's legitimacy.

Strange, the base site seems almost abandoned - is the organiser well known to you Steve ?

Ohh...be verry carefulll...I see the village folk gathering torches and pitchforks!!

The organiser isn't known to me at all. He wanted people to enter his contest so I thought I would repost his thread here.

Good job Steve! But do you think this competition is worthy enough for chat bots to make an appearance.

ERR, no, don't do it Diesel, think it my Son but don't write it.

As my grandma used to say, "That sounds a lot like the pot calling the kettle black."

Banners for this event have now been added to the Chatterbot Collection and also the footer here at Dreams.

What? If this is a contest to name that cute little Bot lying down at the bottom, I'd call him, "Abot"!
Which is a combination of A Bot, which is what he is!!

Did I win, Freddy?...Huh?...Huh?  Did I?
