About
VhaBot is the first Multi-Bot system ever publically released, it has the ability to run multiple bots within the same system and provides an API to communicate between the bots and plugins.
It's written using 100% managed c# and runs on microsoft's .NET 2.0.
VhaBot allows you to load and unload plugins at runtime to disable/enable functionality as you go.
It features a central configuration system and allows you to tweak the rights of all commands through a central interface.
For the codemonkeys among you, VhaBot's functionality can be extended with c# and vb.net plugins.
VhaBot has been proven stable and fieldtested on large bot systems such as Vhanet on rk1 and Itemsbot.

Practical Applications
VhaBot can act as your main organization bot and track your memberslist, notify when users log on, track who's afk, search the central items database and alot more.
It's very well suited to use as relay method between different organizations. The IRC Relay plugin features a special syntax that properly relays item references and provides a cleaner output when relaying using IRC between 2 channels.
It can also be used as your organization's raid channel. It features the tiny tools that make your life easier while raiding, like: !assist, !target, !callers, !sb, !command, !order, !cd, etc.
And with the right setup it even acts as a large scale points bot with excellent raid tracking and logging functionality.
