i know this may sound a little silly, but i'm curious. here's the question, lots of websites don't allow robots, does that mean, hypethetically, that astro can't have accounts with sites like ebay? :confused:

That's funny, Solarcat!! Especially looking at your avatar!! :lol:

I guess if Astro behaves like a human, and doesn't spam hundreds or thousands of sites with ads (and if he's been a highly rated E-bay seller:cool :) then he might "sneak by." :rolleyes:

Of course he probably could make some handy spending money providing Internet marketing services!

I'd love to see some of his original stories retold with updated features like the Internet or smartphones . . . They do a bit of that in the Pluto manga, which was really cool.

that would be something to ask website administrators.

I would allow humanoid AI robots to use the site the same way as actual humans.

spam-bots are considerably less sophisticated then astro

It depends on what is meant by "robot". There sure isn't any real robot accessing those websites, so why would they forbid them? In fact they mean "web crawler", "robot" being only a way to define them. In this case, Astro isn't a web crawler, so I guess he is ok :p

Funny story
