Hello! And Welcome!


Aside from reading about AHK, what else are you looking forward too. There is a treasure trove of awesomeness before you, I hope you have some coffee or tea. Over 500,000 posts and countless lines of code...
... so far.



Add to it!

Ubfortunately, this message is not genuine and has appeared on multiple antispamlists. I dunno what the purpose is. This topic may be moved or deleted shortly.

...what's the point of spam, with no links?

Back in the 70's this commercial used to run on TV.

It may just be a happy person following Carlos' advice.

It doesn't appear to be automated, but if it is, it's automated very well. Where there's an introduction thread, the post appears there. It's interesting how on the other forums no one made the spam connection.

...what's the point of spam, with no links?

There are no links... yet. The phpBB forums let you edit posts very easily, and this could be automated. Something like this battle plan:


[*:1i7wi2za]Create a post on many forums
[*:1i7wi2za]Wait a medium duration (maybe a month)
[*:1i7wi2za]Edit the original post to include spam and links
[*:1i7wi2za]Do a bump post at the bottom.
The bump post could be from another bot user to simulate conversation, rather than a bump, like a belated welcome.

I think atleast one other forum made the connection. I just had a gut feeling and googled. For being spam it seems harmless and actually interesting. I like the fact that BB tags were used too.

OP: Would you like to elaborate on your purpose?

[G. Sperotto]

Look at the google results again, somebody by that name has a "bad name" (legal case) so this might just be to "pollute" google with results to burry that "bad result".

Thats an interesting point.

Now that you have mentioned it, i do remember googleing the name of another spammer in the past and also getting some sites where a legal case was being discussed.

And here I am thinking I was being nice to someone new, supportive, encouraging...

further proving my point of 'why bother' anymore.

[Morpheus]

Never give up. :-)

Maybe a bot for test IA, or reset a reputation(=money), or test bing/google algo or other, if it's the "real amoral" searcher...
It's a spam and not moral (!=legal), but better to use his name than create damage to an other people... Internet has no ethical experience, that's the problem, like some country with no rule for cloning...
