United Bot could use an advanced yet light string engine as kicking and singling out bots ofr actions are very painful in the other bots (except RealBot) and you loase the data by turning the [] Clan Tags and () Skill Tags off. I think testing should not be a problem, we have a large, user-base at our disposal, dont we?
I recommend that you simply extend the std string class instead of writing a new one from scratch.
