We should just leave it alone...Im assuming most people know my opinion on the matter, but I'm trying to be impartial.

Dillion isn't on as much as he used to be, Nice shirt is on every now and then, Sunny is gone, Ben comes by once and a while, that just leaves Cat.

What the deuce happened to Sunny?

Man, lqinxury0123 and mmff7116688 are making a mockery of our comments about the mods being quick to get rid of spam. Some of it has been up for three hours now

EDIT - Now there's another one, leinqueoi123. We're being swarmed!!11!

Not long after Shirt heroically steps in and cleans it all up, liqnlsis0123 pops up and spamsalot. Obviously those three are connected because we've had liqnlsis0123, leinqueoi123 and lqinxury0123 today.

I know I dont have the best job in the world, but how sorry are these ****s that have to spend their work time signing up on forums and posting BS ads in the threads.

I'd hope most are automatic bots (not least because it would mean they could hopefully be stopped with a CAPTCHA), but some are able to respond and are presumably human. It was the same with WoW and gold farmers, some moved so mechanically they were clearly scripted bots, but others were actual people essentially running their characters in circles all day to build up gold, and for really crappy wages.
