Freeforum sites=Friends to each other=Save them from spam?

Postby Kimonio » March 6th, 2010, 2:23 pm

I was just browsing and I came across this site-

http://theaftershowparty.net/bb/viewfor ... b3cc535766



Now look...see all that spam? See how most topics made by spambots have reached over 100 pages? See how only the spambot is replying? HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?

Now scroll down....you will see that the forum amount of pages is 565. All spam.


Since freeforum sites are related, shouldn't saving that site count as saving family?


Discuss.

We can't help that. We could try to get it deleted, but the owner obviously doesn't want to. That's about all we can do.

That has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's like this:

I own a business in a mall.
Another business in the mall is struggling.
Because my business is in the same mall as the struggling business, I should come to the aid of the struggling business.

What a freakin' Democrat idea. I'm sorry…but it just sounds mighty stupid to me. That forum has as much relation to us as the struggling business to my business in the mall scenario. Now, if one of the forums of a user here is in trouble, that's different (as in, say alucard's forum is overrun by spammers, then maybe we should help out). But otherwise, no, that's just stupid. Sorry if I'm sounding harsh, and nothing personal Kemo, but that's just what I think.

My latest story, and one of my personal favorites.

Original: Jealous Ghosts of the Mississippi
The story of Rachel meeting Amber after a lifetime of silence and being shunned
Original: Your Hand in Mine

Still, it would give you more hand speed.
