Funniest Thing I Found this Week
So, some time last year I was on the statcounter forums when some guy goes there to spam. He is promoting forum-er forums in a pseudo-stealth spam mode. This is a forum provider I happen to use, but at the time it had been suffering from a *lot* of unannounced down time and I was kind of annoyed. Since then it has steadied up nicely and I am pretty happy with them.
However, all the down time back then combined with what was clearly some kind of deliberate spamming meant I made a few terse comments to the spammer.
Now the internet provides me with this forum discussion.
Um, yeah, how could I possibly tell it was spam without inside information?
The spamminess, dude. Really.
If I wake up with a horse head in my forum, you'll know why.
