Thanks Dasein.

Mwaha, and indeed ha. Tremble, spammers.

Spammers?

Where are the spammers...?

Thanks everyone!

I even found my very own spammer. I intended to feed him and water him and love him forever and ever, but Dilbert's deleted the account.

:D

confuselings purple power

#15 Post by llivv »

was it a bot or a real spammer? I'm not sure if the bots like to be watered.
For the bots you have to flick the switches or they get really angry.

Oh, and keep one eye out for trools. They are sneaky buggers.

What's it feel like to have your name all purple?

One forum member said he / she felt sorry for me when I got my color changed.
Then said she /he had to get back to sending out more spam in the next sentence.
But that was most likely fallout from the forked forum.

I hope you can handle your new official status () oh it's not that new anymore, duh ) :lol:

I like purple. And I have enjoyed wielding it mercilessly. I will water them whether they like it or not - it's a bit like corsned: if they squeal they're human, if they fizzle they're a bot... :D

Good to be able to help out.
