In a far corner of space, long forgotten by many of the great overlords... a lone x-wing fighter comes to a stop near a small spacial anomaly... several minutes go past, then a Danz Corp Communications Bird Un-cloaks

/me the exiled leader of Danz Corp sends off a communique

Ahhh the old Australian Post programme, hope the Lord Shogun Gunner gets it in time

/me twists a few dials, the Comms bird recloaks, then spining the X-wing on its head, Paddy heads off to a distant point in the darkness

on second thought, disregard....it's better that I don't know.

It's simple if you know how to do basic internet stuff with a programming language. I used Java. I just ran ethereal (a packet interceptor), made a post, copy-pasted the packet that was sent into my program, and stuck it all in a for loop. Since I can also identify some of the data in the packet, I can have my program send a different message than I originally posted, or post to a different thread.

Well, it was discussing some actual topics earlier.

You absolutely sure we had a *real* topic to begin with?

[DrSpike]

Well it morphed into a thread with some real topics, at least.

+1ing isn't a real topic?

[bongo]

Sorry, my bad

Hey, that's another +1


(I'm really really sorry, will stop posting here now)

tragically, i'll never reach diety unless civ4 is a lot better than civ3, or a lot more people start posting in the civ2 section...

Yeah, based on how the activity is there now, I wouldn't mind them counting.

Only if they started counting now again, the old situation would arise again, as people would start posting single-sentence replies 50 times a day.

As opposed to the prior 30-odd posts before this reply?

Again, Spam is eliminated by successful moderatorship not the elimination of post counts. This thread is a perfect example of it. The calls to have vague gaming-related threads posted in "Other Games" and not in the OT so posters can get their +1's is another example. The moderatorship on this forum is far less effective than that on the OT which is why the very same spamming travesties which are whined about in re: to the OT are allowed to occur.

I was hoping that it would hit 500 before it got this bad.
