What should the new bot be named?

My vote is TASVideoAgent, because it maintains consistency with the historical naming scheme of NesVideoAgent, and because TASVideoBot and TASVideosBot just don't roll off the tongue as well.

It was a tough call between TASVideoAgent and TASvideosAgent, but I ultimately went with TASVideoAgent, probably because I've spent too many years on this site.

Also voting for TasVideoAgent. It's probably because I've gotten used to it, but with the extra S just sounds strange to me.

If any, call it TasVideosAgent or TASvideosAgent... TASVideosAgent has to many capital letters for my taste :P Damn, I miss that #nesvideos address already and NesVideosAgent :'( RIP.

TASVideoAgent for the reasons already stated. I don't really second the sudden urge to change the channel name, though, people have known it as #nesvideos for years, and it's too small a part of the site to cause any disrepancies because of that. Then again, one could use that argument both ways. Oh well.

Majority wins. Bot renamed. Editors, please fix the appropriate pages that references TASVideosBot to TASVideoAgent

If you look at TASVideoAgent's profile, his website is still http://tasvideos.org/NesVideoAgent.html . You've probably already planned on doing this, but it should probably be changed to the page http://tasvideos.org/TASVideoAgent.html . Oh, and I agree with the name change. :)

Ok, someone already fixed his website. But his email address is still bisqwit+nesv@iki.fi

I just looked back at the poll and would like to remark with a chuckle about how incredibly one-sided that vote was.

You should have changed it to Killbot 2000 or something.

You'll probably notice that in science fiction, most femme-bots are either sexbots or cause their masters grief due to fuzzy logic involving trying to understand love. And Bisqbot, as we all know, has refused mine and others' offers of love. Why couldn't the poll have lasted more than 3 days? And why wasn't "The Sex-matronAgent" an option? (In order to fulfill all of Sticky's needs.) Or "Johnny Five?" Or "Crow T. Robot and Tom ServoBot"?

"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate
