Weird - 150 new members, only two have posted anything.

Postby Voyager » Tue Sep 01, 2009 1:05 pm

I took a look at the forum member list (to see if I could find the supposed Anastasia Beaverhausen posts), and I noticed that out of the last 150 new forum members, only two of them have posted anything. Do people just join this forum and never post? Were these people mainly spammers that Andrew never allowed out of the gate, or do people just randomly waste their time registering to post on message boards that they have no intention of posting on?

No, I was just trying to find the posts referred to in this post:

Duncan wrote:... it is incumbent on you to take a trip downstairs to the Steve Perry forum and to introduce yourself to a new member - Anastasia Beaverhausen. Perhaps someone could invite her back to our place.


And I saw on the forum memberlist that there were hundreds of new members with zero posts. You have to scroll to the bottom of the memberlist page and set the sort order to descending to see them.

I think there may be lots of folks who came over with the demise of Perryville. Mainly lurkers.

My guess is they're waiting for that email that will never come. I don't know if things have changed since you first joined, Voyager, but when I first joined just a few months ago the "rules" said that you are to sign up & that when you are approved a message will be sent to your email address letting you know you've been approved. Well, I've been posting here since May & I have yet to receive that email. The only way I even knew I was approved is that Portland let me know via another website we were both posting on. Otherwise, I would have waited forever.... & ever..... & getting increasingly discouraged Image ....... & depressed .... & wondering why Andrew doesn't like me Image ...... & why I'm not good enough to be a memberImage....... & wondering, "Was it something I said?" Image...... until one day I wouldn't have been able to even get up out of bed. There would have been nothing left to live for.Image




Okay, maybe that's a wee bit extreme, but you get the idea. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I see. Well if that is the case, I guess I can't blame him. A lot of forums are getting hit hard by spammers these days. I know a guy who has to delete 150-200 spam posts every morning from spammers who post on his forum late at night.

A lot of new sign ups are spammers. Look at some of the WWW sites in their profile, but be aware, I saw at least one that was a porn site. I know T-Bone spends a lot of time weeding them out, as I'm sure Andrew does as well.

Okay, I know I'm gonna sound truly ignorant here, but since I keep reading this same term, I just have to ask: What's a spammer & how would they benefit from coming on here?

Yeah, the registrations are 95% spambots. They alll get deleted out eventually. T's taking care of that for me.

Board upgrade pending to enhance security. Will be down for a day or so when that comes around.

So they can post big advertisements of their crap, hoping someone will click on it. A spammer is someone who makes money off of advertising, either through sending you unwanted emails or doing what we've talked about here.

Yeah Steve, stick to the non-viral hardcore porn sites - they are much safer. Friga has a list of them, email him.

You're left handed then.
Why treat life as a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in an attractive & well-preserved body? Get there by skidding in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand, chocolate in the other, body totally worn out, screaming WOOHOO! What a ride!

My point exactly!!! If it wasn't for Portland, none of you would be graced with my lovely presence everyday. :twisted: She's the one who told me I'm approved.
