GIFs are the best thing to happen to GC. After me. And super diligent mods.

Michael Kors again, and something about not feeling a cerebral connection? WTF?! I hovered over the link for one of them. Oh and something about John Hughes movies of the 80s.

I guess its been a couple weeks since the last spamalot? Is there a way to require a minimum TOEFL score to write on GC?

I got to say today's spam for London Escorts is the best I've seen in a while.

OMG, they're back again. A whole page of them. I don't sleep well, so I notice how they only come out at night. Like the pod people or something.

I just don't get it. Does anyone really click on links in the spam-bot posts? What's the pay-off for them?

I've asked this question so many times. I don't understand the point of someone actually signing up and posting, or creating some stupid algorithm that will do the work for them. Either way, it seems to me a fruitless endeavor.

I imagine the incentive is similar to that of email spammers. Before the law changed regarding email spam there were many spammers who pulled in thousands of dollars per day.

Spam bots aren't programmed just for GreekChat but rather to spam forums & blog comment areas all over the net. Spreading their links on GC & 10,000+ other websites probably earns them a bit of money. Not sure how much but definitely enough to where the spammer attacks have continued for years.

If not for the blocks we already have in place on GC there would probably be 10x more spam posted here (which is likely a low estimate).
