Just be glad that this board is localized. I have a website that's number 1 in it's category according to Google, ( and has been for five years. It has to do with parrots). We managed to stop the Bot problem long ago. What we cant stop, (and I don't see any possible way TO stop ) is the human Spammers that have been hired in Russia and other countries that do nothing all day but register on websites and (in my case) message boards, so they can Spam at will. I have to take an educated guess at to whether or not it's a Spammer or legitimate new member sometimes, and hope I'm only allowing legitimate people in. I get 25 Spammers a day on average, and it's very time consuming to try to check them all out. I think the human Spammers simply look at the first page or two of each Google category and Spam them due to their popularity.Lester wrote:I think that was due to a bot attack that was going on against unpatched PHPBB message boards. In other words, there were 110 computers, but I doubt 110 people were on the other end.

Some where, on the Internets, there is a web site that allows you to generate your own Nigerian scam letter. You plug in the names of your friends and such and it generates the letter. The only problem is it watermarks the web site on the letter.Dr. Whiplash wrote:I HAVE HUMBLE PRIVILEGE TO REQUEST FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE TO TRANSFER 47,500,000 PARROTS INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.

Here is an example of a scam letter:
Dear Friend,
My name is Jay Nunley. I'm a poor, under-sexed white male who lives in the United States of A. I have a serious brain condition that makes me like football teams that have green and white as their colors and that employ a buffalo as their mascot. This football team is so bad they cannot play with more powerful, better football teams that start with the word "The." My brain condition makes me have very powerful penis envy for any football team that is better than the green and white buffalo team.
I need women that will have sex with me to cure my brain condition, so I can go on living a life where I can enjoy football teams that at least win a game against a football team that does not have the words "High School" or "Little League" at the end of their name.
Please send check, money order, or a hooker to:
Jay Nunley

Heh...(Memo to the locals: increase your fucking play lists ). Still, I'm even a bit proud that little Charleston, for all its failings, flipped (Jack) the bird.
In sentences right next to each other, even.
Wowwwwww....a writer who realizes that his own aging/maturing/growth might be a factor in how he interprets his experiences with things and people, including media. That's a first!Finding a radio station that you liked used to be a little like falling in love....Of course, it never lasted....Or maybe you just grew a little. Maybe you noticed that the same couple of local burnouts you'd been listening to weren't that funny any more. Maybe you started to think that they should have taken that job at Sears long, long ago. Maybe you just decided that you'd had enough of Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw for a while and want some music that doesn't reek of old socks. Whether it was you or them, it was over.
