    The spambots using pictures isn't new - I noticed one do it about a week ago. The spambots replying to another spambots thread with their own spam though... that was new. And also a little bit unnerving.

    Don't worry, we can always leave Coolsome behind to divert them.

    You underestimate my collection! (I have like 8 copies of MGS1).

    Yes but you don't have a MGS HD Collection with MGS 1 PS1 in it. ;)

    Depending on the new layout, maybe they won't WANT to follow us to the new forums.

    If you wanna scare all the guys off, then yeah, pink's the way to go. Then it'll just be all the girls and all the spambots. And you know what they say about spambots... they have ways of making things bigger.

    This is nothing new. It's becoming a little more common, but I've seen plenty of it before now. Really, it just makes it that much more of a pain in the ass to track down and ban all the bots in an attack.

    I never see any spam. I don't know whether that's a testament not to how good the mod team are, or the fact that I only visit Ike two threads these days. I take it most of the activity is limited to the Walking dead section?

    No no, in fact, General chat is hit hardest.

    To be honest, it's Modville... and all we're talking about is spambots these days.

    TBH, we're getting pretty good about talking about spambots as well. Half this thread has been about them!

    Well if you want to see what a spambot looks like, then somehow I think I can oblige. They tend to post meaningless gibberish about how life is filled with pain but overall it's worth living because that's the way everybody feels and you totally shouldn't feel like you're the only one suffering. All of this pointless rambling is sprinkled with a few links, ostensibly to things like the most recent episode of a TV show, or Skyfall Movie Online. These links aren't actually to the episode, but to a scam website that'll try to get you to download some software, ostensibly to allow you to watch the shows or films, but really it's a typical useless piece of software that'll only clog up your computer. Oop, time for another link, so let's go with The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 5. Each post by these spambots usually contains four or five of these links, if not more, which can be quite annoying to look at. And since these are spambots, they either post several links to different shows, or they just keep repeating the same link throughout the post. Either way, they're nothing but a nuisance given how frequently they post once they start - they can create between two and twelve new threads if left unchecked. Next link's gonna be Castle Season 5 Episode 6, which you should all watch because that one's actually hilarious, given how it's a Galaxy Quest-style parody of classic Sci-Fi shows and it's directed by Jonathon Frakes. True story. So that's what these spambot posts look like. I hope I've managed to satisfy your curiosity as well as provided a smile for others who are looking at this post and wondering what the hell's going on before realizing I'm taking the piss. One last link methinks, so let's go with something else that's currently on, namely Red Dwarf Series 10 Episode 5. The show's not what it was, but it's still miles better than Back to Earth, so there ya go.

    (The links are safe, people. Try 'em and see.)

    CHEATER! We tried to avoid the real stuff.

    Errr... and you know how spambots attract each other? How do you think they find each other?
