Since obviously at least one user found this confusing, perhaps you might want to change it to print out a message like "No commands given... exiting!" or something like that when it's invoked with no arguments.

As a result of my recentish code cleanups, everything lambdabot does, even the main command loop, is a @-command. If you just run it as 'lambdabot', you give it zero commands, so it loads all plugins, executes zero commands, and quits. I suppose I could make the command loop the default, but that is just too ugly since as it stands the core doesn't know the command loop even exists. You want 'lambdabot -e offline' or 'lambdabot -e "rc online.rc"'. Note that none of this applies if you are using the tarball.
