For one day - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 07-15-2007

Today you can post, users who signup but only offer ads and are immediately deleted. I'm giving you a day to post why you want to post here. I can't imagine your motives but maybe you can explain yourselves.

Act fast. Tomorrow I'm turning off user sign ups and going back to admin signups. Maybe you will convince me to leave you on the board. Maybe you have something to say that will be of interest to the massive Brotherhood forum. Maybe. Maybe not.


To our regular users, I've turned off HTML for the day. No pictures or links until tomorrow.
:twisted:


Excited - cranefly - 07-15-2007

I'm very excited about this experiment.
I have no idea why. I mean, there has to be more exciting things "out there."
Nonetheless, I'll be checking in now and then throughout the day just to see what Doom looks like on steroids.

Or viagra...

It'll never work. We're doomed.


Well! - Haggis Killer - 07-15-2007

I'm certainly astonished by the volume of entry-seekers. Takes my breath away. Honestly.


Well - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 07-15-2007

It had to be done. I've eliminated at least two hundred names in the last couple of weeks. Maybe I liked Propecia and Viagra more I would have let them in.


whiner - Drunk Monk - 07-15-2007

At KFM, we average 3 dozen spambot membership applications a day. Most are .ru, @gawab, or @potchka but there's been an increase of .pl and .in lately. I spend 10-15 minutes every working morning deleting spambots. You ain't seen nothing yet here.


Slow day, eh...? - cranefly - 07-15-2007

You sure you weren't just imagining all the people beating at the door?


cleft - cranefly - 07-16-2007

A Michigan Cleft Network?
Who woulda thunk an org like that would be into spamming...

And CNN?
The CNN?

Clearly I'm not grokking things tonight.
Maybe I oughta just go to bed.
Or eat a spider.

We had twelve!! - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 07-16-2007

And I don't get paid to delete the spambots. I do it out of the graciousness of my heart. Heart placement debatable.

However, I don't think I actually left the door open. So, I'm giving it another day . . . .

Still backed up


don't do it - Drunk Monk - 07-16-2007

spambots are the ants of the internet. once one finds food, they'll all come storming in. you may think this will be funny, but in the end, it'll just be a bigger mess for you to clean up later. trust me on this. like you say, i'm a professional spambot exterminator. every once in a while, one slips through, and i totally regret my lack of vigilance when i have to clean it up.

Feh. Only one post. It's like he's not even trying.
