    i reported him yesterday, but nothing happened so far
    its better to report rather than to argue in one of the threads he made

    You don't know his name because he made a new account every night. Except last night. He made two last night.

    It isually went on for about 2 hours and at one point got up to 3 threads/mn, so it must've been a bot program.

    The spam translated to some really weird chinese college degree advert.

    If its USB, yes. Otherwise no.

    I use a G25 shifter with my Thrustamster T500RS. What you need is a little box made by LeoBodnar: http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=97&products_id=188

    The box doesn't require any fancy setup, you just plug it in and it works, better yet, games seem to universally figure out that it is a G25 shifter and apply the correct input maps by default.

    That feeling when you go to rub your eyes, and put a smear on your glasses right in your line of sight because you forget you were wearing them...

    Well, it's happening again. Maybe we should just all accept that this is normal now and not give it a second thought.

    They are ads for fake college diplomas. Really shady stuff.

    "Where can I buy a foreign university diploma? Can a foreign fake diploma be certified? What kind of work does the international student return to China to find? What should I do if I study abroad to study abroad? Looking for a diploma for overseas study abroad to find a job? Apply for an Australian university degree, apply for a US university degree, apply for a Canadian university degree, apply for a UK university degree, apply for a German university degree, apply for a Malaysian university degree, apply for a university degree in Singapore, apply for a New Zealand university degree, apply for a university degree in Japan, and apply for both domestic and international University degree diploma."

    The spambot seems to have broken tonight. The titles are similar to the previous ones, but the posts are now only a random combination of letters no longer than an average word. I just find it to be very strange.

    It made a couple threads like that in previous nights thrown in with the usual ones. As of writing this it's doing the usual stuff, with one outlier.

    Earlier today there was a couple of spam threads from a different account in a different style. Might've been a human trying to spam, I only saw three and they were identical. I declare that one is named Greg. Greg and Bob, the forum pet spambots.
