Who says we're friendly?

Welcome, hope you enjoy... Our friendliness? Well at least the great magazines and topics. If there are any comments and/or complaints you'd like to make, don't be shy to post reply away. Unless you really are a BOT...

Yeah, i can confirm its a bot.  This same bot is registered on dozens of sites on the internet using the exact same post.  And, the ip address is on a banned list as well of spam bots.  Honestly, I found this out, because I thought it might be another user in disguise.  Once I pinpointed the ip address, it was easy to see it was a bot.  Just google the bots email, and you will see what I mean.  When was the last time, someone "acted" like that anyways.  Asides from a 2 year old.  In my old irc days, bots were something that we had to contend with day in and day out, so the behavior just "sticks" out.

Thanks for the notice, we've had a bunch of these already.
But there's always one who slips through the net. Wink

Yeah, very true. It's just that I have no experience in this field and I didn't want to be rude in case I was wrong.

Don't worry, I was not sure myself otherwise the bot would have been banned when i first checked his profile when he registered like all the other ones. Wink
