Thanks are owed to the infobot developers - several of rbot‘s
features are inspired by infobot and so are some of the default plugins.
Thanks are also owed to RADKade1, as rbot‘s quote plugin is a direct
reimplementation of his "quotesaq" - simply because it‘s a
great quote interface.
Mainly, rbot‘s fun to play with, although the plugin architecture can
be used to write very useful modules
