Newsbot - yay or nay

Swanny · 04-15-2009, 09:20 PM

Antaletriangle is much better than the bot

alyscat · 04-15-2009, 09:34 PM

Actually, I find him endearing. and I also recognize he's MSM. Sometimes I wonder what the MSM is up to. It's sort of like Keep your Friends Close and your Enemies Closer. LOL I get the NYT tweets, curious to see what is being written these days. I love Antaletrangle's choice of things for us to read, but I also like to see what the other side is trying to sell us.

franciejones · 04-16-2009, 04:16 PM

what the heck is newsbot?

Phtha · 04-17-2009, 03:42 AM

Yes thank you Mr.Admin.

And don't worry, Birdy is still fine, It just has its sights set on higher things now.

Luminari · 05-24-2009, 06:31 AM

The NewsHound/News Bot is back from the dead and spamming us all with unwanted mainstream news articles again!

Help

Avid · 05-24-2009, 02:47 PM

Aaaaarrgh! It's back....
Grrrrrrr

burgundia · 05-24-2009, 07:15 PM

I guess we'll have to ignore the chick....

BROOK · 05-24-2009, 08:19 PM

That newsbot is like the energizer bunny....he keeps going and going and going

Dantheman62 · 05-24-2009, 09:45 PM

Where are you newsbot?

Anchor · 05-24-2009, 10:27 PM

Dear Mr Newsbot

Take your automated doom and gloom and shove it into the void of negativity where it came from.

Looks like this is the first time I will need to use the ignore facility on PA.

A..

Mystery Solved!~

[25-05, 06:33] Carol: I like the newsbot and think it should stay as it gets lots of hits
New [25-05, 06:37] Carol: and yes, I luv it and requested it be put back... given that hardly anyone even bothers to be here as a member anymore I don't think newsbot should be taken out.

Well ~ I feel like a monkey's uncle

I remember a few months back speaking with another member about this incestuous posting (member)

I use to post daily, depending upon the (quality and content of) the mainstream news media's> catch of the day?
Often~ I would find a story even- double-trible> checking its sources? I would post it> go off line> come back and
I'd find another version of my news posted thread appeared right under mine???? I thought> ok> this happens
Then> it began too happened again and again

I made some inquires > no response???

I almost felt this> canine was laughing and having some fun with me??

I thought~ ok> lets go check this dog out???
Aaah yes, this mad barking hound existed> but wait?? It had blocked all avenues of messaging and was in a state of incommunicado
This discovery> took the wind right out from under my carefully planned and worded (rhetorically > you've been a bad doggy) response!

Oh well~ life went on
I stopped posting daily even began too stop monitoring and following the news daily
Better you than me> chasing the latest 3D spin!

Thank you newshound back.

The old world has gone too the **** oops!!

But, I love the canine
One of my best friends!

I bet your tired, but your a good doggy

Note;
newshounds biggest fan and critic.

my bad> shamirandin you were right

Well that explains it then, what a joke! Newshound/newsbot gets very few hits!!!
Just go back a few pages and look when it was on before. All it's for is front page news, which we can get from the front page if we want!
I don't blame you gio, It pushes the threads down to quick.

I guess this was one of those useless polls. I counted more nays than yays about the bot. Personally I don't enjoy the posts as others have said when I want to check out the news it's only a click away. As for the posters, well I guess this time of year most people have a lot of things to deal with.

Yeah I guess it's useless to start a poll here about this! Now I know who's really running the forum.LOL

Yup to be honest I thought it was quite selfish to bring back the news bot when the community obviously does not want it around.
That is why I made the poll, if most people liked it then fine I would just ignore it best I could.
But we are not moberators.

again, this is not the case for all of us. i value newsbot for the variety of relevant news items it feeds me. i'm not just a click away for the front pages. my dialup takes several minutes for most pages to load.
please leave newsbot and let's move on.
