The OP was almost certainly one of our Chinese SEO adbots. When that adbot was deleted, any responses to that thread got promoted to the new OP ... which is why we don't like for people to respond to adbots.

The whole thread has been removed.

Not sure whether to put this here, or in the sig thread, but this guy has a link to an offsite website in his sig (which I know isn't specifically against the rules), but his post doesn't read as being especially relevant to the thread and I wonder if it might be a very sneaky attempt at adspam:

Not sure if bot or if link actually leads to a porn site (don't try it yourself regardless), but VERY suspicious

viewtopic.php?t=464251&f=20&view=unread#p35680143

EDIT: Checked the user's post history, definitely a spam bot, would HIGHLY recommend that nobody click on the link (in the post, I don't link to it), not because of porn, but because it probably leads to adware/malware/or worse

OK this one is a bit weird because this account's two posts aren't advertising but their occupation listing on their profile is just a long ad for a Vietnamese company with a link to their website and the company's physical address so uh yeah.

That's not all that uncommon. Some dim bulb realized that profile pages get picked up by search engine bots too, so they make a couple of innocuous posts to emulate being a real human. Then there are adbots who never post in the forums but just put links in their forum profiles. If you run across any of those that we've missed, feel free to link their profiles.

Example, NK lies and says they are democratic and are not, the US lies and says we are free yet we incarcerate millions for a medical plant. See we are basically a larger more populated North Korea.
