Why was there an extra 5,000 PMs sent in July?

I believe Neobond posted that there was a mass spammer sending PM's to random users.

JUL '08: 1,217 registrations, 6,245 new topics, 76,072 replies, 8,238 PM's sent and 2,139,545 topic views.

Numbers are up again on last month, the PM stats aren't totally accurate as it appears we had a spammer on July 11th which resulted in 5,113 messages sent for that day. Without that days totals it comes to 3,125 or 3,225 if you count the 100 PM's a day averages for the last 2 months (still down from last months 3,306 PM's sent).

Well done guys (Y)

I would think the definition of an active poster would be someone who is currently in discussions and debates around the forum, and takes part in the community, and isn't posting "lol" in every jokes and funny stuff thread, those I call spammers.

But in the end, it is the admins / mods choice on what to define as an active poster. Good luck to everybody :yes:

Wow... anything to make the posts huh? Bacon.. comon, it's all about Canadian Bacon :)

Just joking. I will give an update at the mid-month mark, or weekly, just to see if we are on target, and count down the last few thousand when the end of the month, or the 8,000,000 mark approaches, whatever comes first.

Free stuff is always good, though I already have Vista. Perhaps Neobond could arrange for Bill Gates to be put in a box and mailed to me? I could always use someone to talk to and fix my computer issues.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
