'''KotHBot''' is a program developed by [[Infil]] to streamline the administration of [[KotH]] challenges and provide an interface for hosts to quickly or automatically mark questions and participants to view current leaderboards, time remaining, and other statistics. The program started modestly, but has grown to attempt to handle all types of KotH trivia challenges.

Development started in July 2007, and the project is currently in the beta phase, which allows full-featured KotHs to be self-run and automatically marked (interested readers are encouraged to test the beta and provide feedback: further instructions can be found [http://p075.ezboard.com/fperfectdarkelitefrm1.showMessage?topicID=4873.topic here]). During July and August, Infil devoted much of his spare time to the successful completion of the program before September, but fell short of his goal due to technical issues and other obligations. He is hopeful the first fully-featured version of the program can be completed by the end of September 2007.
