This post seems oddly familiar. Two people using the same spambot settings, or one person who decided to hit the same mostly-dead forum twice in a week?
Edit: I just realized that nearly all of the activity on Nexodyne is now driven by spambots and our responses to their threads. They're pretty much the only thing keeping this place even remotely active. Depressing.

Hahhaha, what it is they are using a program called "XRumer" basically it searches the internet for forums and they post. If you notice, in their signature there's links to their website. When Google is crawling this page, they see their links in their signature and Google automatically assumes it's important and it ranks their page higher in the rankings. For example, that fucker wants to rank his WoW goldselling site. Best way to beat this bullshit is to add "If you are a human, what color is your shit" something very random that everyone knows the answer to.

Would this be a part of the whole marketing thing?

Speaking of which...
Anyway, most of these posts appear to be from real humans anyway so I don't know how well a humanity-verification question would work. For the time being, I'd say it's not a big enough issue to be worth the effort of stopping it.
Edit: Although, as a thought, perhaps we could disable signatures and links for anyone who doesn't have, say, 10 posts? I'm sure there's a vB addon out there that does this.
