Spammity Spam

Postby rguest » Sun May 10, 2009 5:46 am

Forum spam.

Well, anyone who's been around the smaller forums these days knows the internet as a whole is entering a bad cycle of spam. Most of the CAPTCHA systems are broken (and the ones that aren't are hard for living humans to get right too), and the bots just keep getting better. And our own experiences as one of the many aforementioned smaller forums has taught us that banning is completely useless; they used to mostly come from China, but now they seem to be from botnets spanning the globe.

*sigh*

Oh well. Constant vigilance. That's the price we pay, and we manage. And hopefully the Good Guys (tm) will soon pull ahead in the arms race. And on the plus side, sometimes you get some halfway decent moments out of spam.

Maybe that's where I went wrong in life. I should've made my own botnet. With hookers. And blackjack. Coulda crashed the whole damn system.

Which reminds me. The first rule of project Steamless is you do not ask questions about project Steamless. The second rule is give all your worldly possessions to rguest.

Stupid spammers. Wake up in the morning spam. Go get a cup of coffee, spam.

We must incinerate them. Pig after pig. Cow after cow.

Since you're obviously boring your brains out, I thought it'd be a good idea for me tot pop up my head and say hi. That'll give yopu something to talk about. Nice of me, huh?

I'm not bored. I just played a very good game of Sven Co-op last night. Played through Half-Life with friends. That game will never get old.

Also, the spam situation died down a lot. Isn't that nice?
