Cure95 the bot-meister

His robot avatar was the first to be seen occasionally floating off the old ideas platform in version 07. Before world mark hacks were common place and what's more, it would spew these outrageous quotes at random intervals, stuff like:

Bot: There are plenty of idiots in Congress.
Bot: But of course, I repeat myself.
Bot: -Mark Twain.

"A nifty bit of programming. These things hung around in Chat for a little over two weeks, and we eventually discovered that both bots were the property of a UNIX coder in Chicago who called himself Cure95. By hacking the teleport redirect coordinates, he could place his bot outside the platform railing, and by hacking the message subprotocol, he could parse strings and send multiple messages much faster than anyone could type." - Bruce Damer, 1997
