Is spam something people are behind? Or is Spam like a virus that infects people to make and send spam? Or is spam an alien thing? A magic thing? Is spam behind spam... Does spam send spam- a mindless organism that only seeks to plauge humanity and hard drives? A government conspiracy? Or is it your Computer fighting back? Matrix?

Vote and respond... Tell me why...

This is my lame first topic... As far as I am to ascertain, this is the place this belongs, it has nothing to do with any game, and only in theory could relate to Bungie(.net). But I feel that as this is silly, it's silliness overcomes any tangential relation to Bungie(.net); especially as I ask who is behind spammers(ing) and not what constitutes spamming according to Bungie(.net).

Anywho... have fun... or ignore me.

Note: after recieving an alternative theory I have amended the Spam vis-a-vis to include as well spam the food.

I somehow got to vote twice...

Spam is a valueable and nutricious ingredient to one's daily food programme. Don't joke about it!

While I do not understand a few of the words you used, I can infer what you meant. I was not aware you were a Spammetarian (or partial Spammetarian). Unfortunately the poll must go on.

Tralala

spammers (I won't dignify them with a capitalization of their title) are actually a mix of several different body parts from many animals all processed into a hunk of meat. Just like the real Spam. And, just like the real Spam, we're probably better off not knowing what is actually in them.

How do I know this? The IQ of your average slab of Spam and your average spammer are almost exactly the same!

I didn't take this into consideration before... but you speak specifically of forums' spam. I mean all spam great and small.

This is interesting. I like this and am actually ashamed it is not part of the original poll. On the IQ, yes I agree.

Spam is the AIDS of a forum, and popularity is the HIV.

It makes sense any way you think about it. Popularity is the HIV because if a forum gets popular, the moderators(the immune system) can't control everything, allowing spam to enter. AIDS can be spread by "blood transfusion", or members migrating from one forum/site to another. AIDS can enter the body because of HIV.

It is off subject.

(artificial) Satellites weren't invented until after the second WW. October 4th 1957 the Sputnik was launched by our former red Friends.

But it is still humorous.
