Foo - What's with all the SPAM this morning?

Sure, we occasionally get spam here, but in the past hour, I've seen 2 blatant spam posts from members who registered probably today.

All the new computer owners from Christmas looking to make a quick buck at a "new" home business or something?

spammers are right down there with politicos, journalists, and bottomfeeders (lawyers)...

but the real problem stems from the idiots who buy stuff from spammers' ads...

if there was no profit there would be no spam...

so thank Joe Sixpack the next time you get some spam!

Joe recently upgraded the registration software which cut down about 90% of the spam in the forum over all. Most of it was coming from automated spam bots, and most would end up in the introduction forum. :mad: The ones that pop up now are most likely real people at a computer registering and then selecting areas to post into. Thus more posts end up in places other than the intro forum. Hopefully they aren't also trying to figure out a way around the registration changes to start the spam bots up again. :rolleyes:

Spam, eggs, and hash browns make a delicious breakfast!

And fruit.

This is free enterprise at it's finest. The problem is, you know it won't take them too long, either.

:D

I was loving opening up introduction topics and having spammers link to tons of porn sites. :mad:

Wife: Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Wife: I don't want ANY spam!
Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!
Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... (Crescendo through next few lines...)
Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?

The semi-official term for this is 'Dropping an Earl'...
