Oh, right... yeah, I remember seeing it on the recent posts table some time ago. It's not as if there is no more RP on the site, though. Just need to find new people, I suppose. I mean, there are ones on here with 8k posts, just between two people in a few months.

There's been at least one every day since about two days before this thread was made.

And hes back again! Does this cocksucker have anything better to do with his time? I do not see a point to this.

It's a spam bot suite that just targets particular forum software that they're capable of breaching.

It's not someone spamming Fenco Industries specifically.

And it's on again with spamming. Hmm what all of you bets are on: how many more days this spamming will continue?

looks like one of those "spam bot" things even made a profile picture of some Korean couple. did not know they were that advanced! Plus he brought some friends! Why is it only on this area of the site? they should just go everywhere right?

The section has the word General in it. Hey @Gedan, what would happen if we changed it to say, "Random Bullshit"?

They'd probably target the first subforum that they have abilities to post in.

Related note: I'm still juggling numbers on a plugin to do a better job of fucking the spambots off. Don't expect it to stop overnight, but gradually lessen as I get it more right.

Man what are you even talking about?

Spambot program suites were "advanced" enough to do that when Geocities was a thing.

Clearly they're not so smart if they think people here would post pictures of themselves and their SO.

Humans win again.

Okay... What the fresh hell is this? I assume they are bots but this time using the standard alphabet and just posting jumbles of letters like they're mashing on the keyboard.

It doesn't match the profile of the previous bots, so it is more likely a user who has made another profile and is jokingly mimicking a bot.

I have to admit, it made me chuckle. Good job to whoever you actually are.

Nah, nobody would use a bot that can't get a message out.

It also only made two threads (last I checked) in a rather long time period, lacks a profile picture, and is typing in English characters.

Felt it was an apporpriate topic to bring it up, but holy crap @Gedan! Somehow you've gotten an 8+ million post count in a day!? I spazzed seeing that xD

Massive runaway inflation has caused the post count value to crash.

We're in for some rough times ahead, folks. Not all of us have a fancy safety net/control panel to fall back on during this difficult recession.

No one cares about imaginary internet points anymore. Once your parents or admins get in on it it's no longer cool.
