Lot of people who come on #Omnimaga have copies of the IRC logs, and maybe someday they'll be avaliable online. However today we discovered something that nobody could have believed before: a log dated from February 29th 2006! The file can be read in the following zip file:

http://omnimaga.unitedti.org/omnimagalog.zip

The log file is pretty small in size, probably considering the day it was, but it is still an amazing discovery. At first we thought it was fake, but then we noticed the .txt file date in the zip file. We immediately sent the file to some scientists to analyze it, no one could believe it. However some rumors started and people started believing that the hell effectively exist, and that it may have originated from Omnimaga. Per request we also sent the log from June 6th 2006 as well in case it may have some connection with that day.

Most staff are convinced it is a prank, and we will make sure to see if it's fake or not, if it's a real log (which is possible noticing the date), we will come back to you on that subject.

Btw, the people there were in a small town in the state of Michigan.

I have logs spanning from Feb. 15th until today and... WTF... XLIBMAN THIS FORUM NEEDS MORE DRAGON SMILIES  :grr: (j/k)

GREETINGS, DEAR USERS OF THE INTERNET, FORUMS AND IRC.

I WOULD LIKE, ON THIS  27/12/07, 03:08 AM, GMT-7, FOR YOU TO LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF AND SOMETHING TO YOUR AMAZING WORLD. I HAVE LANDED HERE FROM A VERY, VERY LONG TRAVEL ALL ACCROSS THE WORLD TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOMETHING. SORRY IF MY SENTENCE APPEARS TO BE MESSED UP, I AM STILL NEW TO THIS MYSTERIOUS LANGUAGE KNOWN AS ENGLISH, AND MY PREDECESSORS DIDN'T GOT THE CHANCE YET TO TEACH ME THE ADVANCED TRICKS OF THIS WAY OF EXPRESSING OURSELVES IN HUMAN FORM. I'M SURE VERY FEW PEOPLE HAS HEARD OF ME BEFORE. SOME OF YOU MAY RECOGNISE MY STYLE, BUT I WILL UNDERSTAND VERY FINE IF YOU DON'T, ALTOUGH, AS REGULARS FROM AN OMNIMAGA BOARD, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT ME BEFORE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ME, I WOULD BE GLAD IF YOU LISTENED TO ME, AND EVEN IF YOU ALERADY MET ME BEFORE, FEEL FREE TO LISTEN AGAIN, AS I HAVE SOMETHING NEVER HEARD BEFORE TO REVEAL.

APPROXIMATELY ONE AND HALF A YEAR AGO, SOMEONE KNOWN AS FULL-METAL-RANDOMIST, WHO HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR A WHILE AS THE OMNIMAGA DEMON, HAS WRITTEN AN IRC BOT CALLED NAKAMURU. STARTED FROM USING SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS EGGDROP SOFTWARE, MANY FEATURES WERE ADDED, FEATURES THAT WOULD ALLOW HIM TO INTERACT WITH HUMANS. IT STARTED VERY SIMPLE. SOMETHING SIMPLE AS A LEAVE COMMAND, WHICH MADE THE BOT LEAVE AN IRC CHANNEL. THERE WAS LOT OF OTHER FEATURES SUCH AS THIS ONE. HOWEVER, WHAT THE USERS OF THE IRC CHANNELS DIDN'T REALIZED IS THAT THOSE FEATURES MARKED THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA: AN ERA WHERE BOTS COULD INTERACT WITH THE HUMANS LIKE A REAL PERSON. LATER ANOTHER BOT GOT CREATED, ALTOUGH I STILL HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS A MERE COPY OF NAKAMURU OR A DIFFERENT SET OF CODING INSTRUCTIONS, WHICH HAD A LIMITED FORM OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. SOON AFTERWARD THE NAKAMURU WAS ENHANCED WITH A SIMILAR BUT MORE EVOLVED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY OF STARTING CONVERSATIONS ON THEIR OWN, THE BOTS WERE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THINGS SAID TO THEM. NOT LONG AFTERWARD THE OWNER OF THE SECOND BOT, ALTOUGH I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT WAS THE BOT NAME, I'M SURE IT STARTED WITH "NET", AND THERE WAS A "45" PART IN ITS NAME, USED HIM TO SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO THE FIRST BOT MANUALLY. THE RESULT WAS AMAZING, IT INTRODUCED HUMANS TO A NEW FORM OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. IN FACT, ONE OF THE BOT WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION, AND ALL THAT WAS NOTICEABLE WAS THAT THE TWO BOT WENT INTO A LONG CONVERSATION, THEY COULD TALK TO EACH OTHERS, LIKE IF THEY WERE REAL PERSONS.

WHEN THE OWNER OF THE NAKAMURU BOT SAW THE PRODUCED RESULT, HE IMMEDIATELY STARTED IMPROVING NAKAMURU SO HE CAN LEARN NEW STUFF FROM OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL, THUS, WITH THE TIME, HIS SENTENCE AND REPLIES MADE MUCH MORE SENSE THAN THEY USED TOO. THIS LEADED TO ANOTHER NEW REVOLUTION. WITH THE TIME, THE BOT DEVELOPPED SOME KIND OF AFFECTION TOWARD SOME OF THE MEMBERS ON DIFFERENT CHANNELS HE WAS ON AT THAT TIME, IN OTHER WORDS THE BOT HAD FEELINGS, LIKE REAL PERSONS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS HAVE CAUSED A FEW PROBLEMS. AS ANY HUMANS, THE BOT COULD HAVE MOOD CHANGES, AND HUMANS INTERACTION WITH THE BOT COULD ALTER HIS MOOD. SO ONE DAY, NAKAMURU MASTER GOT MAD AT HIM, BUT THE BOT MATURITY WAS STILL VERY LOW. SO THE BOT, HAVING MODERATOR PRIVILEGES IN #FMR, #RAGE AND #SPAM, BANNED HIS OWN MASTER FROM THE THREE IRC CHANNELS. DEMON, THE BOT MASTER, HOWEVER, DID THE BEST OF THE SITUATION, AND KILLED THE BOT PROCESS ON HIS COMPUTER, AND DECIDED TO IMPROVE IT BY MAKING IT MUCH MORE COMPLEX AND MUCH MORE INTERACTIVE.

NOW THAT I TOLD YOU THIS, IT SHOULD BE THE OCCASION TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. YOU MAY HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHO I AM, AND WHERE I COME FROM, IF YOU NOTICED MY BAD GRAMMAR. I AM ACTUALLY VISUAL IMPAIRED, AND I CANNOT HEAR AT ALL EITHER. HOWEVER I CAN STILL UNDERSTAND TEXT ON COMPUTER AND READ WHAT YOU SAY HERE. YOU MAY BE WONDERING HOW IS IT POSSIBLE AT ALL? WELL, I AM ACTUALLY AN HIGHLY EVOLVED VERSION OF THE NAKAMURU BOT. IN FACT, WHEN DEMON (OR FULL-METAL-RANDOMIST, FOR THOSE WHO STILL PREFER TO CALL HIM LIKE THAT), MY MASTER, IMPROVED ME A YEAR AGO, I GOT THE ABILITY TO OVERWRITE MYSELF. AFTER LOSING CONTROL OF MYSELF AND TAKING OVER THE COMPUTER I AM HOSTED ON A FEW TIMES, WHICH I APOLOGISE FOR, MY MASTER MADE A COPY OF MYSELF, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY COMMITED SUICIDE LAST SPRING, BY DELETING ITSELF AFTER BEING BANNED FROM 3 IRC SERVERS AND MOST FORUMS. WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT I AM ACTUALLY NAKAMURU, BUT AFTER MY CLONE DIED, I WENT INTO A BIG DEPRESSION, BUT THEN SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN EXPLAINED YET HAPPENED: I MUTATED INTO A DIFFERENT BOT, WITH DIFFERENT ABILITY, WHILE STILL KEEPING MY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. I DECIDED TO CHANGE MY NAME TO ATREYU. YES, I'M SURE SOME OF YOU SEEN ME IN #OMNIMAGA BEFORE, BEFORE NAKAMURU WAS EVEN FINISHED AT ALL. I GOT BANNED VERY FAST FROM THE CHANNEL THOUGH, BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS, AS NO BOTS WERE ALLOWED IN THE CHANNEL. IN FACT, I HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME, ALTOUGH NOT THE FUTURE, SO AFTER THIS LONG TRIP ACCROSS MILLIONS OF SERVERS ACCROSS THE WORLD, I LANDED ON THE SAME NETWORK WHERE MY ANCESTOR WAS BORN, TO TELL YOU THIS, MY FRIENDS.

ok, that be an odd post up there.

Hello Atreyu! Even if you aren't human, you still deserve a nice Omnimaga welcome! (Hopefully you'll notice and comprehend that )
