My word, what an interesting technique this HJJ bot has. Ten threads in one forum, none in any of the others--each post apparently assembled from a strange syntactical mishmash of somewhere between two and ten different news articles, each studded with dozens of surreally-titled links and then followed by a bunch of straight-up URLs at the bottom of each post just for good measure.

How odd.

What about we just spam Dereks email until he installs a spam filter or a useful captcha system?  :P
... AND also gives Alec access to these things too.

Sounds cool, I'd add it but I don't think I have the access to do that.

AFAIK Derek is the only one with the web login craziness?

Maybe I should see if I can get him to hook me up with the info required. I might be able to do that at GDC. (sometimes it's hard to reach him by email cause he's doing crazy Spelunky stuff)

So far heard nothing new about this. Update plz? :-X

EDIT: Sent spam, got reply, yay!  ^-^

Looks like another spammer found the forum...  (and more bots have  a different naming pattern now.)
Oh c'mon, time to stop the exponential growth? Derek?  *poke* :o

Yes, please, Derek. BTW my belief is that a neat CLOSET is the sign of a sick mind....

Mine too!

--although admittedly that may be due in part to the fact that it is empty, because all of my clothing is draped over chairs and I haven't gotten around to ironing it yet.

Hey, everyone! Sorry about all the spam. I'm going to set aside some time soon to upgrade the forums and install some anti-spam stuff.

I will update this thread once I've done so.

There's new smilies?

Also awesome on the spam thing.
I see another one just registered and posted some spam, but let's hope it'll become way less.
