and i clicked on the spartan total warrior forum.. (terrible game by the way) adn GAH!!!!! it was all ads in Cyrillic and total spam. Tosa is the moderator am i right in believing that forum has just been abandoned by the spam bots........
i mean there wasnt a single legit link in the whole thing. maybe buried somewhere but i didnt see anything.
it was frightening... go i dare you to check it out.

I think you might be right Sahib.
I also think that Azathoth and his shoggoth have somethingth to doth with thisth.
That forum has very little traffic, so as a matter of (apparent) programming the bots seek it out. They must 'think' it unmoderated but they get gibbed all the same. :book:
TosaInu cleans up the forum periodically instead of doing each one as they happen.

poor man that place is a warzone of bots. Can you just destroy entire forums?

Take off and nuke the site from orbit? While being the only way to be sure, we use it as a last resort.

Well, there is always the GDI's Ion Cannon, but the waiting list for that sucker is years long unfortunately.
-edit- They said something about temples and Sarajevo.

If we do that, the bots might start posting elsewhere. I actually find it kind of convenient that they post almost exclusively in a forum no one reads. It's easy to keep them confined to an unobtrusive spot that way.

We could rename the subforum "bot forum" and add an ad: "Spambots, please post here! Thank you!"

Missed opportunity there. Should have gone with ... Spambot: Total War!

Well, actually I also played Spartan Total Warrior, to have a happy time killing those Romaioi Barbaroi.... sadly, I even almost never know about their existance in this forum... maybe we should start.... BLAH, forget it, my Playstation 2 are still in my parent's house... and I didn't touch it for a long - long time... at least I now spent healthy doses playing EB as usual, and sometimes M2TW, while still stratching my head to accomplish my Empire TW campaign, and rotating my ships....
Maybe we should tear those spambots using Rift Generators....

If we start adding ads it will cause a paradox and that will tear apart the universe, and then not even 1.21 gigawatts of power can save you. We could always get Biff Tannen to tell the Spambots to make like a tree and... get out of here.

What's the Acronym of "Instaggibed" ?
