    Amazon has possessed Apolyton

    SC3000

    Everytime you type "S C 3 0 0 0" (sans spaces) the board posts a link to Amazon selling Sim City 3K. Interestingly, I have not found any other game title to be linked automatically like this one.

    What's up?

    I think this thread is a hoax to get us to try it ourselves .

      This came up a couple of years ago with a Sim City game. Unfortunately, I can't remember the full answer.

        I know l'Event has a word filter that's capable of doing that ... maybe a few years ago Markos tried a new ad style that didn't pan out, and forgot to delete that one?

                And it worked so well you just continued having it so long after the game came out?

                      It wasn't last time this was brought up, and not the last time before that either. And not before that either, etc. Want to bet whether it will be now?

                        We should just make a new thread about this once per month, then they might remove it some day, when they get tired of the complaining
