The Professor 216 Posted April 8, 2015 This is getting a bit ridiculous...every forum, for every game...another ~700 posts. 1 sgtkneecaps reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julia 2,809 Posted April 8, 2015 Agreed. It makes the forum completely unusable by any member of our community and this has to stop. Additionally, there are accounts posting that are active since yesterday (check the name of the spammer and you see when he created the account). This means that the webmaster cleared the spam yesterday, but didn't ban the posters (facepalm). Not that this would have meant anything, they would simply have created a different account, but still. It's... sad. 1 The Professor reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtkneecaps 48 Posted April 8, 2015 I know. I liked getting email subscription s, but yesterday morning my phone was buzzing non stop for a half hour trying to tell me about the 700 emails I got....sigh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Borealian 81 Posted April 8, 2015 I'm not proud of saying this and I realise it won't make any of you feeling any better but: by the time I log on here, the admins have typically cleared the forums of spam. Guess I am in another dimen... timezone. 3 The Professor, Julia and sgtkneecaps reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake yet again 76 Posted April 9, 2015 Dear spammers, No-one in this forum will ever click on the links that you keep posting. Please rethink your life choices and go and do something more productive with your existence instead. Yours, The Internet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, the pressure! I'll admit to everything! What if Julia were behind the attack instead? Deflecting suspicion by accusing poor innocent Borealian is just the kind of misdirection that will allow her fake ID and passport business to continue operating under the radar... All the helpful advice and kind words and laughing at my jokes... It all makes sense now. I *knew* I wasn't that funny...

Steve-O 473 Posted April 10, 2015 And now for something completely different (pun very much intended): Electronic spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited messages (spam), especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site. It is named after Spam, a luncheon meat, by way of a Monty Python sketch in which Spam is included in every dish. The food is stereotypically disliked/unwanted, so the word came to be transferred by analogy. ...[The] Earliest documented spam (although the term had not yet been coined) was a message advertising the availability of a new model of Digital Equipment Corporation computers sent by Gary Thuerk to 393 recipients on ARPANET in 1978. Rather than send a separate message to each person, which was the standard practice at the time, he had an assistant, Carl Gartley, write a single mass email. Reaction from the net community was fiercely negative, but the spam did generate some sales.

Borealian 81 Posted April 11, 2015 All right! I'm sending Jason, Steve-O and Jake on the next mission. Come one people! We need this one to be a success! *Eyes Julia suspiciously* You'll never get away with it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlhorner1974 98 Posted April 12, 2015 That's it, I'm totally defecting and joining whatever side Julia is on. Julia is a survivor, and I bet she's picked the side that's going to win in the end. Julia, if you could PM me and tell me what side I'm on and what my orders are, that'd be great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julia, if you could PM me and tell me what side I'm on and what my orders are, that'd be great. Well, I guess the mission was a failure then. And I think we all know who is to blame! Traitor! *Turns to Steve-O and Jake* I am almost positive Jason is one of the traitors! I... wait... *Realises Steve-O and Jake have been replaced by strawmen* I'm the only one not a traitor, aren't I? ... Which team was the traitors now again? They are the filthy blue ones, aren't they, always singing disgusting songs about making the world a better place and such? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
