[edit] Headline text
Why did somone remove the image of smarterchild? There was absolutely no reason to. I'm going to put it back.
[edit] President
Is that really needed? It seems pretty POV too. Besides you can just type in "President" and the same message will pop up. You can even type "presdnt." BirdValiant 04:58, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm just going to go ahead and remove it. It isn't needed. BirdValiant 05:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
What's with the POV tag? hi

[edit] Launch dates
I'm surprised nothing was mentioned about how SmarterChild had been discontinued and then re-appeared, or even anything about its first "life". I added this info:
The SmarterChild bot was initially introduced to AOL Instant Messenger by ActiveBuddy in early 2001, but after a while, was turned into a premium, $9.95/month service -- a move which perturbed many IM users. After the business plan tanked, SmarterChild went completely offline for several months. This did not garner much attention from the instant messaging community, because non-subscribers had already lost access to the bot long before. It was ultimately re-designed and introduced to the public for free once again in April 2003, and has remained free since. When asked for its age, SmarterChild counts only the time since its second launch in 2003.

[edit] List of Words SmarterChild won't respond to
- I think it would be interesting to compile a list of words or phrases that SmarterChild will not respond to. The only two I know of are most phrases containing the word "suicide" or "I'm going to kill myself." I don't really have any proof of this or any reference to add, so I'll let someone else do it. Just an idea, though. Tnek46 16:50, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
