If that's true, I'm surprised that every other line in those letters wasn't just
BUY OUR STUFF. NOW

...On a more serious note, the confirmation code you have to enter to register is probably too easy for computers to crack. Either that, or someone is registering the computer before letting it spam here.

I keep wondering why they only post in the offtopic threads. Polite spambots? :D

xD Could be. People make these things up as scams. That could be seen as fiction...

I haven't been sure what to make of that either...

Please, Dryu, have pity on the sick person and don't make me go into coughing fits due to laughing hysterically.

If you do, Sicon, drink something, but not alcohol or sewer water. Just milk or sodas or juice or water.

Oh, and, is there a trope for Badass Avatar I could put on your section of the Character Sheet?

I dunno. I suppose you could mention the avatar under tropes such as Red Eyes Take Warning or something, but that really more applies to Sabrac than it does to me...

I just had to delete four more of these ad spam threads. This is kind of ridiculous :(

Serously, doesn't this forum use captchas when you make an account?

I checked and, yes it does use captchas, but I can imagine them not being very difficult to read for a computer.
I've heard about a new kind of captcha that gives you a situation and then asks how it makes you feel. Since computers cannot do that yet, it might be an idea for this forum.

Once again, your signature is the only logical way to deal with this situation. Someone get the warhead.

Frankly I'm amazed by how often Guyshane's signature is the only appropriate course of action for any possible situation.

Not sure if you were serious, but one of the spam messages was French and the subject was lesbians and sex, or something. So that's not very likely :P

Yeah Cheshire seems to have somewhat more subtle and intelligence-based wit. :lol:

Ooh, you just had mention the Cat and put lewd cat jokes in my head when the subject was sex.

...Yeah, you get it now, don't you?

Oh, we're talking with a reality warping cat, have the frikking Holmes in New York and are trying to make the West Witch president... Why is it not likely that a troll inclined character would send lesbian ads at us? :lol:
Yup. The WMG is only for the lulz.

It would be an incredibly creative and awesome idea though. I'm hoping against hope that it's still true.
