Okay, what the HECK is all this?

There is this new member, Americanoafter or somesuch, usually he has a number like "9" or "7" after it.

The thing is, he's had THREE DAMN BIRTHDAYS in the last 2 weeks or so!

When you examine him, his sig has something about buying iPhones at some javawarehouse place.At first, I was thinking this just may be his line of work. But now.... :/

I am calling out "spambot" or "Collectorbot" or somesuch. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe the accused will post here and clarify themselves. And maybe the Mods will investigate and see what is what. :p

"J'accuse!"

That's exactly what it is. In this case, instead of just relying on the forum account to lead to links, they're taking advantage of the front page birthday linkage. In all likelihood, they're trying to SEO more than actually spam.

Birthday abuse. Wow... they're getting really desperate for attention, huh?
