Since this topic IS pointless spam in itself (there has already been a topic about this! Scroll down the page!) I will make use of it, and test a few things out. Okay, I'm gonna spam a little bit. . . Hope you don't mind too much.

Testing. . .

EDIT: yay, it works! Now, does it work in sigs? *Tries it* I bet it'll be annyoing and I'll have to take it off. . .

EDIT: Dammit! No it didn't! Oh well, sorry if I spammed. *changes sig back*

EDIT: Trying something else out. this is the last edit I should do. . .

Anything that mitsur posts is a spam.

Teal 01-12-2002 01:33 PM

Well, if we're going to get petty, Roop, you spam quite a lot yourself.

MrBoj 01-12-2002 04:34 PM

well, while we're at it, does anyone know how the term "spam," Spamming," etc. came about? Probably an abreviation or something, but what does SPAM stand for for?

spam is a post that has no relevance to the subject at hand or does not make sense.

Roop 01-12-2002 07:40 PM

Teal I was just giving him/her an example of spams i went through most of his posts and almost every single one of them was a spam people have informed him mumerous times be he still does it, and i realize that at first i spammed a little at first like my post about my title going up but i dont think i have spammed since and i have never spammed like mitsur a lot of time all he posts are these things :o :D ;) :p :cool: :mad: :confused:

oh and thank you for mentioning my name in a post it makes me feel special.

And another thing when u edit ur post more than once u can delete it when it says edited by...
