♚ Moving to a new nation not because I "wish to move on from past events," but because I'm bored writing about a fictional large nation on NS. Can online personalities with too much time on their hands stop spreading unfounded rumours about this online boy?? XOXO ♚

I've moved the thread he posted in out of public view, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

The post was a gravedig, and it did contain a link to a commercial service - but it was also posted in a thread that was relevant to the link (albeit an RP thread).

As such it could just be a confused newbie rather than a deliberate adbot.

Sorry, Arch, but it was an adbot. They do a search for a marginally comparable thread and post their ad, trying to mimic a confused newbie. It's a fairly standard pattern. Also, we don't see a lot of NS players offering copy writing assistance from Bolivian corporate IPs.

My mistake for not doing due diligence on a Sunday morning; I should have checked the IP.
