Gibberish in Blue Sun room by PhoenixRose

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Doom! I think maybe you should have to be signed on to post comments; that might eliminate a lot of botting.

PENGUIN

That's a great idea! I'm sure Haken would approve.

Is that what all that crap is? I thought someone was just being infantile.

So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

Well then I hope he sees it and puts it into practice.
You know, it would also eliminate those people who say nasty things anonymously. I know many authors and other aritists complain about that.

BSC, I thought it was someone being infantile, too, but it's on basically every image posted today, which is very strange. nothing from past days seems to have it.

Maybe I'm being obtuse here, but what possible benefit could that be to a spammer? There is no link to a web page selling Viagra, other cheap meds, stock picks,Nigerian scams, or porn involving animals like all of the other spam that gets filtered out of my inbox. So what good is it?

Not to go off topic here, but does any of that actually work. I guess it does to an extent, or else the spammers would stop sending it, but does anyone know of someone who has actually responded to spam?

So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

Yeah, that confuses me too. Maybe it is a particularly stupid spambot? Not sure if it really is, but the site was acting up a little for me, and last time it was bots causing that.
Anyway, no, I don't know anyone who has responded to spam, but then then I've never known anyone who "needed" such things; i.e. elargement, viagra, beastiality porn....

Yes,I forgot about the "grow your junk" spam on my list. I did see an interesting blog about a year ago from someone who took it upon themselves to totally

with some Nigerian scammer. It was hi-larious!

So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

Oooooh, do you remember it? That would be funny! I love hearing stories about how to mess with telemarketers, too.

*Shudder at the aforementioned subjects of the spambots* Eeeek.

I haven't gone to look at the gibberish, but wanted to take this opportunity to say two things.

First, if the site should begin to have trouble again and go down we need a gathering place... a place to spend some time until it comes back up.
Last time Penguin and some of the rest of us set up shop over on the Browncoat Board..

www.serenitymovie.org

Next time .... Haken willing that won't happen... but if the board goes down, I'll go over there and make a thread called FFF.net and we can talk over there.

Please everyone make note of this and go and join this site. It's a great place to visit anyway, so it won't hurt to be already signed on.

2nd subject... PhoenixRose, I love your banners!
They are beautiful and your spirit for sharing them is wonderful..

That is what we want to do with these things.. we want to spread them all across the web!

Thank you, sweetie! I had a lot of fun making them. Once I'm off work again there may be more.

And yeah, absolutely, spread away! I want to see my banners everywhere!

Your banners are great! I sadly don't have an actual site to put them on. I wish I could make them myself, I have no idea how to get them down to the right size, seeing as I do all my stuff in keynote...then convert it to a pdf file...and then cuz I can't post pdf I convert it to jpg

...not that hard...just annoying. What was I talkign about again? Oh yea, banners, heh, sadly I'm pretty much Photoshop illiterate, maybe that will change eventually. Anyhoo, keep up the good work!

Photobucket isn't hard to get! Their basic accounts are free and they've got lots of available bandwidth. So anyone can host through them, I bet.
As for PhotoShop, it's a wonderful program! And it really is user-friendly, I promise. If nothing else, it's excellent for resizing and saving for web so your files aren't huge. Add to that it has all those shiny, shiny, tools...

There are some nice little books about it, plus classes at just about any community college. I highly recommend it. That Kaylee manip I fixed for you? Less than twenty minutes in PhotoShop.

Here is a link to one of the anti-scammers:

http://users.aristotle.net/~sternodox/

I just put "scamming the nigerian scammers" into Yahoo, and it came up.

I like to mess with telemarketers! My boss will laugh parts of his anatomy off anytime I keep one on the phone for more than 10 minutes, because it means they can't call anyone else during that time. I am willing to share techniques with anyone who wants them, as long as they promise to use their newfound powers for sowing chaos in the telemarketing community.

So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

Oh, I just cut them all off. The Do Not Call list is a wonderful thing. It's still funny to read about, though.

Oh dear! I don't know that I would have the energy to keep that kind of thing going. Sure is hi-larious, though!

For some reason I can never get serenitymovie.org to display. I mean ever. It always always says the page cannot be displayed. I don't get it.

Sad me.

I'm so sorry, PhoenixRose...I just typed it in and it went fine. I wonder what can be the matter?

That address takes you to their front page, the link to the forums is on the uppper left.

Try this one?

Thanks for the advice Phoenix! My dad is something of a Photoshop whiz, I'll have to ask him if I can borrow a book. Sounds like a good deal once i figure out how to use all the shiny tools. Thanks again!

No dice. I have tried every way possible, links from here, links from Google, typing it in, it does not work for me. I don't understand it.

OneManShort, yeah, talk to your dad! PhotoShop is one of the shiniest programs in the 'verse!

Gossi recently added an ad to his site,that I've heard some folks complain pops up. Could it be your pop up blocker isn't allowing the entire site to come thru?

If we set up camp over there in the case of an outage over here, it'll not be ok that you can't come with us, PR. What will we do without the warmth of your fire? This just will not do.

Well, maybe it was my work computer. The direct link to the forums works now on my home computer.
*happy little noise*
I'll join now, add to favorites, and hope all continues to go smooth.

Ummm, to get back to the start of this thread, the gibberish is still there. Thought I would mention that, if it is just a stupid person...please stop.
