Have bots ruined mpp?
-
please be honest, i’m arguing with my friends rn

Juniper I haven’t really been on MPP in a while, only small visits to see how things are doing. But it’s sort of a yes and no, because obviously, there were bots before, but they were often in just the big lobbies (the main lobby you get loaded into automatically, TRR, etc.). I’ve noticed that they seem to be spreading, though. (At least from what I’ve seen.)
I feel like they sometimes just clutter up the site, because there’s so many of them, but I also think that they haven’t really ‘ruined’ MPP, just because in my experience with them, which albeit isn’t much, they don’t seem to impede upon the function of the site."𝒩𝑜𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒾𝓈 𝒾𝓂𝓅𝑜𝓈𝓈𝒾𝒷𝓁𝑒, 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝒹 𝒾𝓉𝓈𝑒𝓁𝒻 𝓈𝒶𝓎𝓈 '𝐼'𝓂 𝓅𝑜𝓈𝓈𝒾𝒷𝓁𝑒.'" -✧𝒜𝓊𝒹𝓇𝑒𝓎 𝐻𝑒𝓅𝒷𝓊𝓇𝓃✧
"if you need a failure, you can ask where the nearest is–I'll say look no further than your favorite lyricist: me! The girl waking up from a dream, realizing her music is the worst she's ever seen." -
Basically, it really depends on what they mean by ‘ruined.’

-
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?)

ִ ࣪𖤐⋆˖⁺‧₊☽𝐵𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒶𝒹𝑜𝓃𝓃𝒶☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ִ ࣪𖤐 they’re more focused on the bot than to talk things out, yk like not even a ‘hello’ 💔

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 -
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-
-
♥Gay_Bastard♥ 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.
