What is wrong with OverloadQBot? That seems to be working fine. And even if you were to run that bot, it would have to be continuous. Soxred 93 | talk count  bot 18:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Just for more information, there are actually two bots that clean the sandbox.  Dreamy   §   19:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * OverloardQ's been doing it a lot more recently, though. That just shows however, that another bot like that is unnecessary. Soxred 93  | talk count  bot 19:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The other is Uncle G's 'bot.  Dreamy   §   19:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * OverloadQBot seems to be currently down. Either way I withdraw my request. I'm come up with a better bot idea another time. I apologize for wasting your time. Thank you for your input,   Compwhiz II ( Talk )( Contribs )  19:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That's ok, it wasn't a waste of time. I learned that Uncle G's Bot is still working.  Soxred 93  | talk count  bot 19:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
