Eh, every once in a while.
I have a bit of a minority complex so I'm usually afraid of talking to them through VMs or PMs, even though most of them are nice (when they want to be). Though I'll converse with them through threads (DCC and TCTI, for example) =D
I just have to remember that they're people too, and that they have lives. I don't think any bots would come to PC any time soon, and even if one somehow got in, I doubt it would ever become a Staff member XD
