I was wondering, is bulbabot an actual human or some kind of a program that posts a a thread every time an entry is made to bulbanews?

again, sorry for the extremely stupid and noobish question, but i i want to know.

Edit: oops! a typo in the thread title, it's 'a' not 'as'.
 
Its ok!
Bulbabot is an RSS feed. The admins have "created" a user and given it features of posting the RSS feeds that it is linked to, in this case Bulbanews. So technically its an alt for the admin who created it.
 
Bulbabot is not an RSS feed, it's a bot. Which means it's programmed to automatically do things like post forum threads when Bulbanews is updated and the like.

Which means, yes, it is a program in a way.
 
The Bulbabot on the Wiki and the Bulbabot on the forums are two separate things.

The one on the Wiki is a program while the forums one acts as an RSS feed.

Well, I meant that they share the same name, and are both Bulbagarden bots.

They may be different bots, but they have the same identity.

Just like I'm Zekurom here but Ztobor on the wikis. My username used to be "Ztobor" here. You wouldn't say that I'm two separate people - one here, one on the wiki, would you?

BulbaBot is not the RSS feed itself, it's the program that creates the RSS feed.
 
Just you wait... one day, it'll be infected with some sort of virus... and seek revenge and violence on us humans... escape while you can, fellow Bulbagardians... if that's even a word...

I've always wondered what Bulbabot was, and now I know.:ksmile: I kinda figured it was some sort of program, but wasn't exactly sure what kind.

I think the word you are looking for is bulbagardeners.

Just one more question, how does the other bot make edits on bulbapedia when it's program.
