That may be so and I do agree with you, however getting back on topic, you've at least found some great hosting from UH

One of those alerts was mine and I did wonder why it remained, now I know. Just remember, the real pleasure is often in the anticipation Anyway my bets on off shore banking.

Am I the only one feeling a little let down our spammers haven't "closed the deal" yet and posted their links?

Or could we possibly be witnessing some brilliant new technique whereby, through playing hard-to-get, spammers actually set us up for wanting their spam?

:shivers:

Yeah this thread has been a let down. We didn't get to nuke any spammers but nor does it seem that we have acquired two new contributing members for the community outside of their initial pointless posts.

Maybe they got scared off by all the cynical comments..oh well..lol

What about the "cheap web hosting link" in the signature of taramichael? Looks like spam to me.

Heck no. I'm in process of migrating all my hosting over there as we speak, just to save a few few bucks off of UH.

JUST KIDDING!!!

Beating SPAM with cynicism and sarcasm ... this is great!

This could turn into a new cyber crime-fighting initiative ... I wonder if all crime could be tackled this way?!

UH - do you have a the powers to amend the signature? e.g. to "terrible unreliable hosting?" ... would be nice to give them some quality link referrals

You can tell we're in economic difficulty when even the spammers have been layed off
