Well there's nothing wrong with the chat bots that don't imitate games.
It's a pretty broad question here. You can write one in any language you want.
I wrote a simple one in VB along time ago but I deleted it. Basically the easiest way to do it is telnet to chat.battle.net on port 6112 and figure out the way the server formats its messages. It's an interesting programming task and its pretty easy if you are familiar with simple winsock programming.
If none of this makes sense to you then you probably can't do it without some research on that aspect of VB and basic networking.
Guys just a heads up I am going to be shutting the site down soon. I am just waiting on the NUON people to decide whether they want to transfer forum data and keep the discord. My email is [email protected] for anyone that wants to keep in touch and I have a facebook too. I will make an official post later. Love you guys and will miss everyone!
I'd rather personally just own a backup of the Nuon data than see it go to AtariAge honestly. If it gets enshittified as per usual, or if some of the "regular" Jaguar folks get there, it's not gonna be fun
Also, anyone who is reading this and is sad - don't be, turn off the Internet, step away from the box - enjoy your life - there is so much more out there for you than there is here for you.
