I have no idea what you're talking about...
I think (as in "not sure") he's talking about the forum at idev games.

I think he (Sectaurs) was sarcastically saying he has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to the more posts than we can see, hence the smiley.

...

Unless I'm not talking about the same thing you're talking about? :shock:

Sectaurs is obviously someone who has access to these forums and wanted to make a joke.

Of course it's just the content that is secret.. :roll:

As long as you dont delete my account just because i only read and dont post. On the other hand, why delete them? Why not just let them be there and not waste time cleaning them up?

Lol - don't kill me!!!

Seriously though - does this board have problems with bots? And as for 0 post accounts, can also delete all those as well.

I have the impression that talking about the spambots attracts them - I just realized that a new spam thread was opened.

Edit: Yay, 400th post! At least something good came out of this ;)

I'm sure the only accounts that would be deleted are spam accounts with obvious spam names like "FrEeViAgRa" and "Bestporngirl221."

I don't think there is a problem with deleting the bot accounts if someone wants to waste their time deleting every single one, but I don't think there's any particular need for it either. Are they causing any harm? I mean, it's not like there's any time that I'm going to see "We have 1473 registered users." and go "AAAAAH, WHAT THE HELL!? 73.48% OF THOSE ARE BOTS, MUST DESTROY".

But "Bestporngirl221" is MY account name on the Concerned forums! :(!

No, it's some HL2 web comic that apparently has it's own forum to go with it. Though it was obvious to me since I spent like 3 hours trying to read them from beginning to end, I was surprised I actually did reach it, what with all them notes and nice pictures (though I haven't caught up on them since).

But yeah, the only problem I have with the bots is for locating members. You have to go from page to page just to find someone since there's no skipping or anything like that. But oh well, It can't be fixed since you would have to have Jeff or David do all that. although, I'm sure tons of people would volunteer since they'd get a chance to see the developer forums. (which would be a threat to national security....)

You can just sort by the people who have the most posts, and that will give you the actual people, but not the bots.

And what did you think of Concerned?
