How much time did you put into your bot, Ice Pie? A simple one is relatively easy to make, but easy to spot. If a sufficiently talented team puts enough work into it (years of full time work), the result with be a lot better.
A youth chatroom is a quite different environment to the Turing test. The other person doesn't know in advance that the bot isn't human. The topic of conversation can be quite restricted, and the bot can simply say "got to go. bye" if it gets lost.
In a Turing test, you're up against intelligent educated adults who know that one of the 'people' they're talking to is a computer. You can't run away. If you change the subject too much, you'll be found out.
Background knowledge is becoming less of a problem, with projects like Cyc. And Google really does know everything.

Gotta love Google.
Bisexual: Specialization is for insects.
Decadance is its own reward.
Ignorance is bliss, but it'll never replace sex.
It's not cute being this easy.
Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

Yes, that was the worst part of it. The police wanted a list of all of the CDs that had gone (to give to pawn shops and so on, I assume). It took me a week. I still have a copy, and I'm still ticking off CDs as I find replacements.
No, that's not true. That was the second worst part. The worst part was discovering that my beloved Not Drowning, Waving CDs had been out of print for years and were no longer available. If anyone here has a copy of Tabaran, I'd do anything.

If you knew the IP address of the machine(s) running the bots, the operator of a chat room could probably tell. Also, I suspect that current bots wouldn't stand up to a long enough interrogation by a suspicious op.
It's only a matter of time before good enough bots get into the hands of the general public. Then it will be impossible to tell. Judging from the transcripts of recent Loebner Prize contests, that will be a while. I don't know what Nanniebot is doing, and the author seems very reluctant to reveal any details of the technology.

I don't think the SH chatroom has anything to worry about from Nanniebot itself - I expect the ops boot children fast enough that it's a waste of time for paedophiles. But the technology exists, it will only get better, and it will be used. We already don't know who we're talking to. Soon it'll be a question of what we're talking to.
From my point of view, that's OK. I don't visit chat rooms all that much, but when I do I go there to chat. If a conversation is entertaining, does it matter that it's a man, woman, or computer on the other end?
If you're there to meet people to meet, you'd care a lot more.

There's an article on nanniebot in New Scientist this week, which includes a transcript of a conversation with it. It's scarily good. I did manage to guess correctly, but I was a long way from certain. If I hadn't been told in advance that one was a bot, I wouldn't have known.

Another couple of weeks? That means (counting on fingers) a month's worth of sex to be caught up on all at once. No man or woman within a hundred miles will be safe. The children and animals will be looking a bit nervous too.
I'm off to the bookmakers, to place my bet on the biggest earthquake the country has ever seen occuring at the end of March.

You could invite her over to your house one night and show her the site on your computer. A couple of hours in the Cafe should convince her that we're all completely mad. Sorry, did I say mad? I meant mad about sex and gimp masks and... no, I won't ask. I don't need to know.
Then you can take her to your bedroom and ... well, I'm sure you'll think of something
