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. . .

It is a pointless post that has no meaning nessecary such as three word posts-such as - What the?,what,Damn!,I hate you!, and pointless stuff like that..... that should explain it

Edit: Yes it was. Okay, people, go about your business, nothing to see here...

Anything that mitsur posts is a spam.

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

MrBoj · #9 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?

Where are you at?
Not that I care much though,
Shouldn't have eaten that moldy dough."

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

Roop · #11 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

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...
