-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
