That doesn't really work. I just tried googleing the message itself (or rather just this part "I'd just like to tell u guys that this is the best thing next to washing machine") . The search came out empty. for those who didn't get it- not even this thread. :whistle:

EDIT: I should really get some sleep.

I think it's mostly likely a guy who gets paid to jump in here, register, post one of these ads after a certain schematic and then move to the forum and leave this one forever. He probably already forgot he ever posted here.

That was what my cough was about - if you google its name (without a space in the middle and misspelling "warrior") you DO get hundreds of results.

Stanton Wariors is also a group (DJ's) and pretty wellknown in UK, so that might explain quite a few of the hits.

Beef yes it does appear on google but if you would bother to check the results you would see that posts are different from forum to forum, so that's why I think it's a human spammer or a very intelligent bot...
(He even names topic differently)

So why bother targeting forums like AR or RB with such low traffic? I'm pretty sure it's a bot, albeit a reasonably complex one.

@Titan: That's the Stanton Warriors, with "warrior" spelt properly - Google certainly asks if that's what you meant

Hmm...

Very similar modus operandi.

Code:
Title:Best Thing Next To [item]

I'd just like to tell u guys that this is the best thing next to [item]. 

[Block]
P.S. [Block]

Blocks:
[Block A]
If you're wondering about how to maintain an error-free PC and achieve 100% system performance, try this! 

[Block B]
If you're also wondering about how to kill spyware on your system, try this!
Spelling is exactly the same, down to each letter. So it's a spambot (altough a smart one).

By the way, if anyone's truly curious, the best thing next to a washing machine is a dryer. You wouldn't want to carry your wet clothes all the way across the room, would you?

I feel like Danny, shamelessly spamming like this.
