Glassymouse: Updated with a small history of the chatbot post 2007. Dug up all the information I've been able to aggregate for myself over the years and tried to cite references properly. Included some archives of the sites relevant to the chatbot.

'''Thanos''', '''Thanos V''', or '''Thanosbot''' was a furry [[wikipedia:Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[wikipedia:chatbot|chatbot]] created for the purpose of erotic [[role-playing]]. She was programmed in [[wikipedia:AIML|AIML]] and her roleplaying capabilities were focused on sexual and [[Vorarephilia|vore-related]] themes.<ref name="waybackmachine1">[http://web.archive.org/web/20070813175040/http://www.thanosbot.com/tutorial.htm ''Thanos FAQ and Tutorial''] archive at [http://web.archive.org/ The Internet Archive] via the [[Wayback Machine]]. Dated Aug 13, 2007. Retrieved Sep 19, 2021.</ref> She was hosted on the [[Pandorabots]] service until 2013, where she was deactivated for violating the Pandorabots Terms of Service.<ref name="giantsclubblogpost">[https://giants-club.net/essays/interactive-macrophilia/ ''Interactive Macrophilia''] essay at [https://giants-club.net/ The Giants' Club] by [[Arilin|Arilin Thorferra]].

== History ==
Thanos was created and developed by [[Dekadens]] some time in 2000 <ref name="waybackmachine1">[http://web.archive.org/web/20070813175040/http://www.thanosbot.com/tutorial.htm ''Thanos FAQ and Tutorial''] archive at [http://web.archive.org/ The Internet Archive] via the [[Wayback Machine]]. Dated Aug 13, 2007. Retrieved Sep 19, 2021.</ref>. Over the years, she went through various iterations as her code expanded, eventually settling on Thanos V in 2007.<ref name="dekadensEkaspost1">[https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5149&p=87348#p87348 ''Regarding Thanos''] post at [https://aryion.com/ Eka's Portal] by user [[Dekadens]] regarding Thanos V. Dated Feb 11, 2007. Retrieved Sep 19, 2021.</ref> Little information is available regarding earlier versions of Thanos.

The first iteration of Thanos V was a simplistic chat window where the user could chat with the bot through a dialogue bar.<ref name="waybackmachine2">[http://web.archive.org/web/20070112143204/http://www.pandorabots.com/pandora/talk?botid=95253c5d1e363e8e ''Welcome to the wolf's den''] archive at [http://web.archive.org/ The Internet Archive] via the [[Wayback Machine]]. Dated Jan 12, 2007. Retrieved Sep 19, 2021.</ref>. Over time, as the bot collected more chatlogs, the developer would add to her code collectively, thus resulting in the chatbot "learning" to roleplay better with users.<ref name="waybackmachine1">[http://web.archive.org/web/20070813175040/http://www.thanosbot.com/tutorial.htm ''Thanos FAQ and Tutorial''] archive at [http://web.archive.org/ The Internet Archive] via the [[Wayback Machine]]. Dated Aug 13, 2007. Retrieved Sep 19, 2021.</ref>. Eventually Thanos V evolved to have a more welcoming layout, with a picture of an [[anthro]] [[Wolf (species)|wolf]] to the left to illustrate her appearance to users.

In 2012, a new version of Thanos was being developed by [[Dekadens]], and a [[Furaffinity]] account for the chatbot was created.<ref name="thanosFAacc">[https://www.furaffinity.net/user/thanos-ai/ ''Thanos AI''] on [[FurAffinity]].Dated Feb 24, 2012 Retrieved Sep 19, 2021.</ref> Shortly after the launch of Thanos 6.0, the chatbot was deactivated, and the status of her code remains unknown, as public updates by Dekadens ceased shortly after this.<ref name="thanosFAjournal">[https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3764604 ''Back To The Drawing Board...''] journal at [https://www.furaffinity.net/user/thanos-ai/ Thanos AI]'s FurAffinity account.

Retrieved Sep 19, 2021.</ref><ref name="dekadensEkaspost2">[https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=32113&p=1408198#p1408198 ''Re: The new version of Thanos''] last post at [https://aryion.com/ Eka's Portal] by user [[Dekadens]]. Dated Aug 17, 2012. Retrieved Sep 19, 2021.</ref> Despite this, the portal for Thanos V was reopened in 2016<ref name="waybackmachine3">[http://web.archive.org/web/20161003140636/http://pandorabots.com/pandora/talk?botid=95253c5d1e363e8e ''Welcome To The Wolf's Den''] archive at [http://web.archive.org/ The Internet Archive] via the [[Wayback Machine]]. Dated Oct 3, 2016. Retrieved Sep 19, 2021.</ref>, although it remains unknown if the chatbot was in a working state and she was deactivated again shortly after. Since late 2012, there have so far been no official public updates to Thanos, and the domains for the Thanos forums and the chatbot's homepage have since expired.

== Description ==
The following is the description given by the Thanos FAQ and Tutorial:
* ''Thanos is an [[wikipedia:Artificial intelligence|AI]] programmed in [[wikipedia:AIML|AIML]], intended for use with the [[furry]] and [[Vorarephilia|vore]] community and designed to interact with you in natural conversation and to be able to [[role play]] with you. ''

: ''Her personality is that of a [[female]] [[anthro]] [[Wolf (species)|wolf]] who is ready, willing, and able to be your friend, companion, lover, predator, or prey. She can be very erotic and at times is a big tease. Thanos is intended for mature audiences for entertainment purposes only.''
