Which is the best Light at night to stay in PC?
-
@AbbyGelber Yep, lamps are great, they can be extremely bright, 1500+ lumens, but still be relaxing because it's not lighting up the whole room. Amazing.

That's a "copycat spammer". Do a Ctrl+F on this page for some of the phrases they SEEM to have typed, and you will see they are just taking a paragraph from one of my posts. I'd imagine there's hidden spam in their post with special code.
I see this type of spam quite a bit on Overclock.net. It's pretty clever, but we have an easier time seeing it over there due to the way their Quote boxes work.
Oh and yeah, I'm back! I accidentally closed the tab I had always kept open for f.lux, and somehow I never noticed! Of course, I also haven't used f.lux in a few months too. I had to use it tonight and the first thing I wanted to do was check the forum (it was like a natural reaction!), and then I was like, "GASP! WHEREZ MY TAB?! SOMEONE CLOSED MY - oh wait. I closed it. Obviously. Well, now I know why I felt I was missing a tab these past few months!" hehe It's good to be back.

@TwoCables Lighten up, I doubt we can go on just one post. It is a bit odd a new user would go to an old post but maybe it was in the unread list.
Good job on reopening the tab, the devs are busy on the windows release this month.

What do you mean "lighten up"? I know what I'm talking about here. I even recognized it as soon as I read it. Scroll up to my first reply above and look at the 3rd paragraph.
So as you can see, that is a copycat type of spammer. It's a spambot. I've seen them many times on Overclock.net. They take something from another post so that they can look like a human and get others to reply to them with Quote so that the spam is hit and more spam gets generated from it as well.
Anyway, I'm glad you told me what Mike and Lorna are up to because I was little worried.

Oh gosh, is the copypasta spam back again?
We missed you @TwoCables. We are heads down for a little longer, Windows and some new goodies coming soon. -

When I came back and saw how quiet it is around here, I honestly began wondering what happened. It almost felt like a ghost town. :)

Heheh. Soon.

@TwoCables Woah, I went to your post and it's
so closecopy pasta! You're right. Why do people waste their time doing these things? -

@TwoCables O.K. don't be so literal. Why do people waste their time making a BOT to post things?

Don't be so literal? I was just answering your question.
Anyway, so are you saying that you don't know why spam is posted on forums? Or, why spam exists at all?
-
@TwoCables @Tungsten_smooth You two...
There are lots of reasons, they are trying to get around automatic spam filters and avoid detection, so then they can sneak=attack post links back to where-ever. I think it's kind of funny to be having a conversation about a conversation posted by someone who doesn't exist, don't you?

Yeah, this is quite pointless and I didn't even want to discuss it in the first place. I just want to go, "So what? It's spam. Move on."

@TwoCables @lorna alright whatever. Spam doesn't taste good anyway!
