How about a thread for the csbot under "Cyborg Factory" if we can get mike @ turtle rock to join BU.

There's no rule stating that commercial bot developers cannot join BU. In fact "TurtleRock" is already a welcome member of BU. Anyone in the commercial computer game industry is welcome to join.
I think a forum in here for the CZ bot would be redundant since there's an official one already available. In any case, the BU council had decided that it would be inappropriate to host forums for commercial bots (although I don't see a rule documenting the decision anywhere, there may be a thread in the Agora documenting the decision). There should also be a thread in the Agora which talks about guidlines for hosting a bot forum.
I had proposed in the Agora that we at least allow a "Commercial Bots" section for placement of links to commercial bot forums. From what I remember, the proposal did not get much response.
I still think providing links to commercial bots is a good idea, especially if we can get a BU link placed at the commercial website or forum - everyone wins in such a case.
