I'm not trying to embarrass you or anything, homes.

But your mysterious sub-one line non-sequiturs are making us curious about where you're from and what you like about Twin Peaks and/or David Lynch. What brought you here?

Inquiring minds want to know!

He was on Seinfeld.

*he's also selling several dvd's if you kindly click on the bottom of his posts for links

Cooped's doppelganger?

MyOwl's posts now appear lucid to me.

So numen's way of communicating is because (s)he is a bot? Not a foreigner? A foreign bot? How disappointing...

What are those Bot thingies?  I see 3 of those logged onto dugpa 24/7.  Can someone explain a bot to me (since everyone on here is smarter than me)?  At least I have the cajones to admit when I don't know something, jerkfaces, stupidheads, bla blah, etc.

the mods here can probably give you a fuller answer, but they are more or less the same as email spam except that they create forum messages. There's some kind of program that lets them defeat simple forum registration obstacles, then they generate vague messages that are designed to look like a new user.  There's usually a hyperlink in the message or signature that will either try to sell you some ViAgRa or download child porn onto your computer.

I was on another board a few months ago with a more or less MIA admin, and it got completely swamped by these messages, literally dozens or hundreds of new messages, and random necro replies of messages from years ago.  I've been very thankful that the admins here are so awesome and we aren't troubled by this stuff very often.

Thanks, biohazard.  numen still has me curious about "his" biocharacter

I knew something was fishy when "he" posted this ultra vague, bizarre thread in the TV forum.  \

Bots are the reason we now have to squint at those weird little hieroglyphs and try to decipher the letter/number combos. Very annoying.

Not all bots are bad, nor are they all there to post random crap on your board. There are also harmless bots that you can give permission to be on your board. At the fest board we have  Google bot, Yahoo! bot, and MSN bot (among others). They are merely there to collect data for their search engines.
