    Well thats open for debate. Is that post infact spam in itself? Ironic? Or ironic spam?

    Neel is not your lover, he is just my hero sometimes, but I don't sing about it.

    Post what you want and we'll sort it out. You don't like it, meh?

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    hmm, sounds good to me. Phoa, close this. I really didn't mean hardly anything I said. Sure, there's a lot more stupid spam, rather than high quality, but sometimes, it just can't be helped. I just felt like making long posts about nothing important.

    Your first post has been edited accordingly. Not closin' the thread, though.

    I find arrogance to be almost as annoying as spam, and it's also notable that, rather often, spammers complain about other spammers not being good enough when they themselves are seen as not good enough by those less spammy than... okay, I'm hoping you get the idea.

    I'm with Flamethrower. Especially with regards to quality of threads. I find very few threads are of low quality - that is to say, the topic of the thread. It's the posts within the thread that can be crap. This will be dealt to whenever it gets out of hand, so that's okay.

    EDIT: The EGG would have had your head for some of the errors in that first post, btw. I mean, there are mistakes, and there's mixing up "their" and "there".

    General Chat HAD been reduced to spam central, but as I said, it was a problem with my circuits. The problem has been stabelized now though, so we're all safe with the slighty spammish Alive-Man...

    Not exactly Spam central, but it is a spam ville every once in a while, it's basically what makes up GC.

    Maybe it's a tad...overdone? Just an opinion. Spam is fun when it's a novelty, but when you get too much spam..well, it just becomes boring, too. And the whole point of spam is to save people from boredom.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    That's why it's not fun! It should be a novelty, something for...er..special occasions?

    You know, if you guys want more people to notice the announcements, you can just use html to change the annoucement thread title to neon pink. Or even just increase the font size or bold the darn thing.

    The first post in this thread is hilariously pompous.

    The fact that so many people are trying to pin all the spammage on Psychotic seems misguided to me and I would defend him if I didn't think that he enjoys the attention (attention whore that he is).

    Spam is like fashion, if the celebrities wear good stuff, then everyone else will follow suit. But if the celebrities start wearing crappy stuff (like Kirsten Dunst and that whole bag-lady, hobo-boho, "please feed me" look that was all the rage awhile ago) then everyone else will wear crappy stuff.

    Baa, goes the sheep.

    Too bad I've been distracting one of the better spammers from these forums lately.
