I know freudbot is the computer that runs the forum

I think that's one of the reasons that we can't show our posts until we write 5 of them, to make sure we aren't robots or computers? And I think they tested us in other ways when we were joining. But I think it's possible that one of us could be a computer. And it could actually be interesting to discover that one of our friends is a computer. I don't think I'm one. But, because I dissociate (space out), I sometimes feel that I'm not really alive & a real human.

i thought the first 5 posts thing was to stop a spams from making posts on the forum idk

The only one i know is the computer that runs the forum is freudbot, who spends all his time in chat - i have yet to go into chat and not see him there

this means that if he disappears from chat, the forum will go wrong and stop working

Oh, ok. I guess the 5 posts thing was about spams. I can't get into chat anymore, I think because my flip2 cell phone isn't "up to date" now.

If I was that guy, for one thing I'm female for another thing hes (I'm guessing) much cleverer at computers than I could ever hope to be

There are no "computers" or bots who post threads or replies on the forums. Everyone who responds here is a real, actual human being.

So we're all in the clear now. We don't have to worry about ourselves or each other being imposters.

May 18, 2022 at 12:44 PM

Now I am really confused ..... So freudbot is a person as well,I thought he was the computer running the forum and chat? Idk

Freudbot is not a person or a member of this forum. It is just a bot in chat. It does not run the forum, but is a small addition to the chat. The forum is run by human beings and existed for years without a chatbot.
