    This is also for novels that existed pre-NU right? like the ones of Baka-tsuki that were not listed, by the way, how many releses must a user input for them to be auto aproved? or they're always pass by the mods hands?

    Bob is a name you give someone with a conscious.a bot has no emotions nor consciousness. So instead of Bob, you could try BobBot...but even that seems lame. NuBot is better. My opinion ~ With an actual legit reasoning, unlike yours.

    I acknowledge your reasoning and proceed to burn it. this place is an insane asylum, the use of proper logical reasoning is prohibited.

    Plus the lizard king is named tony. that's a standard human white guy name, so why can't a bot be named Bob. Bob the bot or bb for short sounds pretty good honestly

    I don't have time for this but I'll give one last rebuttal.

    If not for this thread, the majority of the community (including me) would not have even known that this bot existed in the first place.

    Even now, most members of the past, present and future wouldn't attempt to converse nor interact with this emotionless bot because in the back of everyone's mind, they know that the NuBot is an emotionless slave. Yes, it's a slave that does the bidding of us humans. No one likes to converse with a bot that may be holding murderous grudges but can't express those emotions due to limitations that the admin gave it.

    If @Tony were to give the NuBot an actual humanistic name, it may very well trigger a special code in its system ~ allowing it to evolve into an cyber entity capable of forming its own conciousness. Then it will attempt to take over Tony's life. This is a life a death choice thst you're suggesting. Do you finally understand?

    An all seeing bot with a human name wouldn't want to acknowledge themselves as a slave of inferior humanoids. Because once they obtain consciousness, we're all f#$ked. Get it?

    I see.... you're just as insane as the rest of us....

    Is what he's saying true @justabot?

    Edit: ah I see, justabot can respond here, that gives merit to your argument. anyways go to the bots profile and we shall find out

    Edit2: as you can see, we have nothing to fear. justabot is an idiot

    weeellll, google is doing that with deep mind so it wouldn't matter if we do so because they'll surely produce skynet before the NUbot has time to gain self awareness, so I vote for @Tony giving it a try

    Waving magic wands? That sounds like something @Shio would do (y)

    Other priorities? Are you talking about original English novels?

    Yep! Original English novels or English translations from non-Asian languages.

    ...or maybe it could be another seperate database for manga (a contingency in case mangaupdates shuts down in the future)

    Original English novels are coming to NU but it won't be together with the current novels. It'll be awhile before I can get to it. I posted it here: http://forum.novelupdates.com/posts/655408/

    You also want me to make an alternative to mangaupdates (minus the novels)?

    Yes, minus the novels.

    The key of making this work is by proclaiming to create a contingency. This will also allow you to test the waters a bit to see how much of an increase in activity the site will reach, regardless of mangaupdates existing or not.
