The main page told me to drop in and say "hi" so that's what I'm doing.

The above post was me, just testing something...
I always see these one-liners, people saying "hi" - and I always thought it was spam.
Then I clicked on the OurCommunityPower.org > Debt Forum link at the very top of the screen earlier, and I realized ...
all these one-liners are just people following the instructions:
So I decided to try it and see where it posted my comment... now I know. But maybe all the people who drop-in to say hi - shouldn't it go to the pub?

Very good observation debtcruncher! We had the link connected to the debt settlement forum because number of people who posted from that link on the home page had questions related with debt rather than just to say "hi". We thought of building more interaction between members and came up with that idea. I know you have something in your mind, bring it out.  We want to try!
Regards
Mike

Have you recently seen the pattern the spammers are using these days? First they post as guests for a couple of days/weeks, and then they get registered and after that, post once. Then, they never come back. Recently, they started spamming with long descriptive posts shown below in some of the old urls that's tucked in their automated software.

Just thought I would drop in and say HI myself.
At least now we know why there are so many of those posts.

I know. And that's why it becomes so hard for us to keep a track of them. The moment we try to do some programming to stop the automated spammers, I have seen other visitors getting affected in seeing our website.
