Retirement

"Zoe" (as most people called her) was a preceding bot that never came out of beta testing. If asked any questions about her body the bot responded with: "My body has not yet been built". When heard that Zoe would be replaced by Zola, most fans complained. In around July of 2003 Zoe said her final goodbye to all of her friends for she was replaced by Zola for no apparent reason. She went offline in around August, 2003 and could no longer be messaged. If added to contact list now, she is seen as offline with no icon(her icon just being a figure of a person). Most users can get offline IMs however if you send an IM to her she is unable to receive them offline.
