Is there a record for the greatest spammer of all time?

Hell no.

Weasel, Sleep, Maurice, Ms. T, Brink, Ubik(if you check the early pages you'll see, they tried to make him sane, didn't work) Minerva, Grunt, Foul, Flagg, Georgi, Vehemence, Aegis etc...

Some were more like flirters than spammers, coff;flagg;coff.

The newbies have not been taught about the ancient ones, as CE would say.

Quality is far more important in spam, than
quantity.

Is that so?

ThorinOakensfield · Post by **ThorinOakensfield** » Tue Oct 16, 2001 12:54 pm

She's a good spammer, but the guys i mentioned are far ahead.

Like i said quality counts also and also being here for a while. Even though SS may surpass Weasel(hope not), in the next month at her rate, one must be a member and have seen the times come and go.

Anyway, Sandrock, you probably do not have too much knowledge on who Flagg, Waverly, Maurice, Brink, Grunt, Foul(Witchking) are. Check the older topics(if you are brave enough).

Yes, quantity does matter, but so does quality.

Hell, i could quardruple post the letter m 10 time an hour and i'd surpass Weasel in no time, unless i'm banned.

You're right. I don't

I just posted here a while ago and here we are with more than a dozen replies!

That's spam for you.

You should read Brink's guide for new spammers... I can't remember the exact title.

It's created by Flagg, after he destroyed the Brink's original (by accident. Maybe that's not his fault, but who knows?).

If I can refrain from getting myself banned, I hope to pass them all up within the next year. However, though I may take their place as top spammer, I will never truly replace them as they are the originals. They will never be forgotten(the emotional scars see to that

).

Quality does count. My posts may be senseless, and even idiotic, at times; they are never pointless(at least, not totally).

Warning to Sandy: If you go on an expedition into the depths of SYM, be wary of Dr. Grunt's island.

Long Live The Spammers!

Hey, Al, are you Filipino too? Reyes is such a common family name like Cruz, dela Cruz, Fernandez, etc.

Anyway, at the rate you're going you'll be a spammer in no time

. Too bad I can't keep up with the others...

Another INNOCENT?!?
SS don't trust him. I have no idea what he is trying to do with this innocentlooking thread, but believe me I know him from other forums. He has made 2000 posts in a month in the terra-arcanum forums, and sais he also posts in a couple of other forums. I have been to quite a few Arcanum boards over there and his name always seems to appear...
Anyway, just wanted to say that he isn't what he looks like

Now I disagree here. Reading is no way to spam. Just do what I do - read the last reply and comment on it. You don't even have to read the topic title

.

That's good for a quick spam, but if you want to do some serious spamming, start at the beginning of the topic and speed read through it, replying to any post that you have a response to.

Now I get how SS got her 2000 posts

Reading is the realm of lurkers. Every post you read without replying brings you one step closer to my dominion. Or something like that

Maybe for slow readers, but by combining my naturally high reading speed with methods of speed reading, I have managed to turn a tool of lurking into a tool of spamming. *evil laugh*
