Can't tell what this is, adbot is my best guess:

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=777130

EDIT: Yep, definitely. It was a pack of nonsense until it was edited.

Just going to tell you that if they post nothing but long lists of links, that's a sure sign of an adbot.

Also, I'm curious as to why the General Assembly gets so many adbots.

I know that. It was a sentence and a half of gibberish before it was edited.

The name probably makes adbots think that the GA forum is the site's town square- a central location that lots of people see. It's higher on the page than General, so it gets most of the adbots.
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

That's a slightly tricky one. It looks more like a clueless individual than an adbot. But we've made the necessary notes to keep an eye on him.
