[Rose]

it could just be a damn good spambot, and usefull.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Who knows? Perhaps we've encountered the Conflicker/B of spambots.

[Josephus]

Or it could be Pathos.

[Medicine Man]

Pathos was a bloody good troll, not a spambot.

[RedKing]

Maybe somebody crafted a spambot AI that actually became self-aware. That could be awesome.

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that. It is beneath my dignity to post poorly-worded advertisements for penile enlargement on a seniors' knitting group discussion board. Instead, I've alerted them to new purling techniques which they may find useful."

The next logical step will be those spambots begining to frequent the forums they like, and complaining about trolls and Armok's typing.

And then they will begin to envy the humans on those forums, so they will create a virtual world in the Information Age or just before it starts so that they can think that they are human and not know the truth untill their "body" dies in the virtual reality. Have fun sleeping to that thought.

You mean... like the Matrix, but backward? A virtual world for the computers to live in...

duuuuudeeeeee

Yeah, yeah...I'm a brain in a jar and the rest of you are all clever AIs. Been there, done that.

Got the shirt.

Got transferred to the vat filled entirely with alcohol. Glad we had that discussion.

We already had this conversation, which I remember ended with Aqizzar soliciting the fine brain hookers.

[Leafsnail]

So... something scans the forums, wait for the topic of digital camera encoded location to come up, then creates an account and posts relevant spam?

Wow.  Cool.

[Cthulhu]

I'm beginning to think he's not a spambot, and just has poor judgment on what constitutes a suitable first post.

Good lord though, what is it about spambots that makes us discuss and discuss and discuss?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Because we're all still subconsiously embarrassed about what happened with cloudy.
