"you just can't get the help these days" Perhaps this is just nostalgia, but I remember when hackers took time to lovingly foster their spam posts. Proclaiming "That was truly amazing!!!" is hardly going incognito- I mean who spends hours writing a program only to have it say something so fatuous and blatantly incongruous. Why not: "Tell me about it... Have you seen these:" then people might actually go for the links. Evidently 2 years plus in your bedroom and a proficiency in C does not a marketing genius make... Which reminds me: Hackers man! tell me about it... have you seen these: |

The Sad Truth is that you need to be logged in to post the website, which makes it trivial to delete a user's posts. I've also blocked the IP, which was coming from a well know 'bad' ISP. |
