[Ema]

Are they actually people who sit and post spam on every forum imaginable just because they get some kind of pleasure out of it?

Just wonderered like!

Yus,i have a crazy mind and I love it!

[Jamie]

Think a lot of it is computer programmes that do it automatically...

[Ema]

So do they get some pleasure out of posting bout Viagra.

[Jamie]

Its just a way for them to get free advertising!

[Ema]

It also means that I can sing my Spam man song...

Lovely song Ema

[demonhorse]

Longman's sandwich shop has theme music? :S

[Lucinda]

Yo Yo Yo Yo Longman! (it's the YMCA innit) :-p

These spambots always seem to have been programmed by people who have difficulty mastering the English language. I suppose that way they fit in pretty well with the average forum poster though.

I'm not drunk, just very tired.

[phoenix]

On sale now for only $254, you can get...

no kidding. But those bots have to be programmed by someone.

[John]

Ema is getting slightly crazier these days! You worry me :-p

[John]

On a similar note - what is a Google Spider and a Yahoo! Slurp Spider? Out of 43 guests online right now - the majority is a creepy crawly! Bexy asked me the other day but i wasnt sure

[Jono]

They gather information for Google and Yahoo search engine.

[Jono]

Babe! I'm back again! Take That have made it to Number 1 in the album chart and single chart.

[John]

Correctamundo!

[Jono]

As Mark Chapman says, "knowledge is power". Circa 2004.

For the record, I don't do viagra

[Lucinda]

So is Yahoo! Slurp Spider an actual bot? :-? the one that posts here....

[John]

So is Yahoo! Slurp Spider an actual bot? :-? the one that posts here....

I think its Jono in disguise

[Lucinda]

I was thinking that too.... one of Jono's alter-egos.

[Jono]

Haha. Ema still believes it.

[Ema]

Haha. Ema still believes it.

Yes..and!

I just think that these Spam bots(like Yahoo Slurp Spider)actually work for a company and get paid to post spam on forums. They're probs in a office somewhere in London, or in the middle of the sahara desert. And they register on their favourite sites which they have spammed and post.

[demonhorse]

they're probably all in India like in a big callcentre...

[Bexy]

I still don't understand what spiders are. :-? Are they actual people, or computer programs? I'm assuming that the one that posted up there is an actual person...

Also, I'm nosy and like looking at people's profiles, but I can't see some people's. Why?
