Real Pet Rocks

linkrep · April 2nd, 2009, 01:28 PM

Hey, did anyone used to have a pet rock as a kid? Here's a site, Pet Rocks. It has games and now you can get a pet rock that is painted as an animal. This site is pretty cool for kids, it's got coloring pages and games online. But some of the pet rocks are limited in production and will become "extinct".

Hello Pet Rock Spam Bot I wish to buy your pet rock empire. Oh too late, you just became extinct.

This is almost as good as the spam bot we got over at EdgeEmu.

None of use knew it was a bot and the thread went of for about 2 pages until I noticed that the

face was a link xD

Doom_Dude · April 3rd, 2009, 05:51 PM

Yes we have these weird spam bots lately. Ones even posting poetry with sneaky sig links to weird products.

Raptor Jesus · April 3rd, 2009, 06:03 PM

Yeah. It's funny how hard they try. They can't be making that much off a tactic like this. It's pretty pethetic really.

Doom_Dude · April 3rd, 2009, 06:36 PM

Aha yeah, it is pathetic.

Heh realized buddy's Pet Rock site was still posted, so now changed it to something more interesting.

Aliotroph? · April 3rd, 2009, 07:09 PM

ROFL How'd you find that?

Doom_Dude · April 3rd, 2009, 07:14 PM

I used to watch Father Ted when it aired on the TV. Check out this kicking up the arse episode... it's hilarious.

Father Ted - Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse 1

Father Ted - Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse 2

Father Ted - Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse 3

Father Ted - Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse 4

Aliotroph? · April 3rd, 2009, 08:40 PM

LMAO That's just classic.

Hmmm. That is being a funny clip replacing spam link, Doom_Dude. Thanks for sharing!

I am wondering the purpose of sneaking link posting like Edge Emulation Raptor is mentioning. It is being my supposition that the number of users following link for blatant spam, even if being removed with promptness by moderation, would be much greater than those somehow noticing hidden link in ": )" colon. (I would not be noticing if Raptor was not mentioning, probably.)
A very strange spam technique, I am thinking.

I think it's to gain hits from forum crawling bots and we

We had one on The Abyss once that was similiar to the Edge one except it was a smiley emoticon link liek this -->
