I mean, it could also be just a simple spambot, but WOW.
Admins have their work cut out for them and I don't envy the task--you all have my honest sympathies.

I feel terrible for Lukas and David having to deal with this.

I did not click on any of the"1" for fear of a virus. Those posts went on for at least 5 or more pages. I finally stopped looking back.

This is not spam. To me it is hacking. Oct, you said, "Wrath of the Banned." I think you are correct, and I hope this person is tracked down and nailed!!

I hope it's spambots, cos I don't have enough pity for the sad little lives of the people, if it's a disgruntled ex-member!

Kev, I have no pity either. Spammers tend to advertise something, and "1" didn't, so I think it is a hacker.

It was here this morning.

Basically, somebody created two accounts (that I saw) and spammed a shit-ton of threads by the title "1" that went on for twenty-two or twenty-three pages.

No friendship, no magic -- just spam.

Arent you the one who's always espousing that Nietzschean cliche, "Whatever doesnt kill you makes you stronger"?

No, not me. Never quoted Nietzsche in my life.

Is he a new composer? wink

No, but he might have been referring to Hans Zimmer's music.

And it is at this point, my fine fellow humans, that I'm going to change to topic title to something somewhat more ambiguous in light of the official explanation of today's technological oddity.
I invite you all to join in on the thread which offers a lovely bouquet to those in power, without whom this lovely place would not exist.

Mr. Sones & Mr. Kendall, of course, reserve the right to lock this particular thread off if its existence becomes irrelevant.

Cheers, ladies and gents.

Hang on, wait, it is apparently unsavoury to gloat when an annoying poster gets banned.
So pack that up, er ..all of you. Rejoicing isnt allowed. wink

That's absolutely bonkers. I'm glad it was swiftly dealt with. Thanks, board techs! And thanks for filling me in.

The last person I heard use the phrase "What the deuce..." was the sweetest 94-year-old lady I ever met.

This reaffirms that you, Octoberman, you are still my best-est pal on the board. smile
