Looks a bit spammy to me. Are you real national-coin-depository?

[TomGoodheart 402]

I'm always a bit reluctant to assume that everyone with an IP in the Indian sub-continent is a spammer. Fortunately most give themselves away by the randomness of their posts!

In this case I thought I'd give national coin depository the benefit of the doubt and allow a day or two for him/her to make a contribution. If there's none I'll get rid of the thread.

If a spammer, then the bots are getting even more intelligent - making up usernames that have some relevance to the forum in question!

I have not looked at or appended the video so haven't a clue what it is about, but have left his contact details so that any bot can record them for posterity. Moderators please take note.

Oh, I assumed that, similar to the people that phone regularly to tell me they are from Microsoft and need to remove viruses from my computer, it's a room full of graduates somewhere in India that are paid to register on forums and make a post. However I have no idea why! It's not like the old days where they included a link to Russian brides in their post. They just seem to post once then go away ... what's in it for them?

Even if it's a super-intelligent bot, very clever to link in to the theme of the site, but .. why bother??

Rob, that's hilarious!

Tom - I think it might be something to do with having made 'genuine' registrations on actual websites, that Indian user can be converted into a bot for use wherever bots get used? Something to do with 'web presence'. But I don't really know.

That's absolutely brilliant Rob! Clearly written by the same guy who penned the assembly instructions for a bookcase I recently bought.
