Juniper ah, okay. Can you elaborate? Like how/why won’t they talk to each other? (I know you said because of a bot, but what does the bot do to prevent that?)

Juniper ah, then I would say yes, because MPP is meant to be more of a social place. If they wanted to interact with bots, then go use c.ai or something.

Yes. They did ruin Mpp.

mpp was meant to be a website for piano playing•••duets•••stuff like that, not a bot and social/roleplay nest
bots ruined mpp but so did roleplayers

[Juniper]

tea.and.crumpets i agree

Juniper I might be biased, but I don’t think anything has ruined MPP. It’s still going strong after all this time in many ways. I still see people playing piano. I think that’s the main thing. The bots don’t really impede that in my opinion. While MPP may never have been intended for bots, it’s not necessarily a bad thing that it expanded beyond that original scope. I think .net has improved things by giving people the option to hide bots altogether.

slowstone72 these days there are more bots than ppl-

[slowstone72]

Blake That’s a fair point, but I think it reflects the state of the site as a whole rather than being solely about bots. There are less people these days for a variety of reasons outside of bots. Many users still actively play piano or chat. It really depends on how the bots are used. With the option to hide bots entirely, it’s still possible to bring the focus back to people and music for those who prefer that.

As a community-run site, I think it’s doing pretty well overall.

slowstone72 Mhm.

Juniper hm

it honestly depends what you mean

because i do think there are a ton of useless bots that just exist to spam the piano and crash the site, but there are some useful bots. Dev room is FULL of bots. like- over fourteen of them i think.
