    Folks, what we have here is either a message-board obsessed invalid or a spambot doing some testing. You make the call.

    Wow - I'm sorry for replying to that post, guys, I didn't know.

    I apologize for not catching that myself - in the future I will be more diligent before replying to noob posts, especially where there is no specific query involved.

    Thanks for letting me know.

    I don't think it's a big deal. It doesn't look that suspicious (slightly, though).

    Good catch, haloblack!

    Did you check the link I provided? I'd say it's more than slightly suspicious. Not my call, though.

    Did you check the link I provided? 16,400 forum registrations in three days, all of which contain the exact same post? Yes, you're right. I'm terribly and horribly in the wrong for besmirching the good name of a poor, home-bound invalid who's simply looking for fun, friends, and xVid encoding tips online. I humbly apologize to your superiorly-sensitive judgement of his character.

    I meant that it's not a big deal that TaoTeWingChun
    responded, since (at first glance, before you put up the link) it didn't seem that suspicious. Honest mistake.

    On my part as well. I didn't mean to come off as snarky to you, so apologies if I did.

  13. I guess something has been deleted from the original post. What was it that tipped you off that it was a bot?

    Our own bot is programed to identify them. You didn't think Baldrick was real did you?

    Let me guess

    "<insert name of mokey crap here> can convert any format AVI to DVD ready VOB files at the click of a mouse with no need to understand what you are doing. It will also wash your car, run your girlfriend's feet and can reheat 2 day old pizza without making the cheese all rubbery"

  17. So this is like some sort of forum virus? I wonder what would happen if you let it continue.

    Nothing was deleted at all - I just got lucky. I'm a regular at the mame.net messageboards, and my daily routine usually has me checking that board and then this one. I saw the xpcommon post there and then two minutes later I saw the exact same post here. It struck me as odd, I Googled for "xpcommon", and the rest is history. It's definitely some sort of autobot that registers on forums to spam a warez site. I'd love to know who's behind it.
