Thanks are owed to the infobot developers - several of rbot's features are |
|---|
| 36 |
inspired by infobot and so are some of the default plugins. Thanks are also |
|---|
| 37 |
owed to RADKade1, as rbot's quote plugin is a direct reimplementation of his |
|---|
| 38 |
"quotesaq" - simply because it's a great quote interface. |

Mainly, rbot's fun to play with, although the plugin architecture can be used |
|---|
| 41 |
to write very useful modules |
