I wonder how the bot got an account for this forum. I think when i signed up there was a code in weird letters(i can't remember what you call it), where you type in what it says, but its hard to read and stops anyone but real humains from proceeding. Anyway, i think there was a bot stopper when i signed up, not positive though.

Hmmmm, I vaguely remember that too. Although I would not be surprised if programmers could create programs that can overcome these obstacles. I'll have to check in on it.

I think a human signs up in the forum and then passes the password to the bot and now the creepy bot is a member :?:

Very true.

Bot is short for robot. It's a progam to send out mass messages or emails just like the OP. It never responds b/c it's just a program. There are two identical threads. Noob caught it. We just make fun of it. I'd deactivate it or short out it's battery if I could.......lol.

EDIT: I think the bot slowed my pc down so I could not see the next page. Thanks alot DEEP-A$$-KISSER. .....lol.

I don't why some one hasn't banned him/her yet...Like FishHawk suggested it might speed the site up a bit.

So if this bot got my password to go online under my name then what? Will post topics under my nic and possibly say bad things or just to spread a virus/malware?

Yes I did notice OFF was very slow to load/reply. Thanks for the info.

The bot could, but it is unlikely... how secure is your password...
