Q: How do I make my Supybot connect to multiple servers?
A: Just use the "connect" command in the Owner plugin. Easy as pie!
Q: Can Supybot do factoids?
A: Supybot most certainly can! In fact, we offer three full-fledged

Q: I found a bug, what do I do?
Q: Do I really have to use separate databases for each channel?
A: Submit it on Sourceforge through our Sourceforge project page:
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=58965&atid=489447>. If
Sourceforge happens to be down when you try to submit your bug,
then post it in the "Supybot Developer Discussion" forum at our
forums at <http://forums.supybot.org/>. If that doesn't work,
email supybot-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net. If that doesn't work,
email jemfinch@supybot.org. If that doesn't work, find yourself
some carrier pigeons and ... hah! You thought I was serious!
Anyway, when you submit your bug, we'll need several things. If
the bug involved an uncaught exception, we need the traceback
(basically the stuff from "Uncaught exception in ..." to the next
log entry). We'd also like to see the commands that caused the
bug, or happened around the time you saw the bug. If the bug
involved a database, we'd love to see the database. Remember, it's
always worse to send us too little information in a bug report than
too much.
A: Of course not! We default to separate databases for each channel
because, well, that's what jemfinch always thought was
reasonable. Anyway, if you change the configuration variable
supybot.databases.plugins.channelSpecific to False instead of
True, for *most* databases, each channel will share the same
database (the exceptions are ChannelStats, Herald, Seen, and
WordStats, which are inherently rather channel-based).
Q: Karma doesn't seem to work for me.
@ -174,3 +159,31 @@ A: No, there isn't, and there probably never will be. Commands have
command, many users would call the command, see that they could
perform it, and then run the command, thus doubling the activity
in the channel. Is that something you want?
