This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Harvester porgs?

A sort of spambot that just sits on e-groups and gathers data. On email groups they harvest emails. Yahoo groups used to, and probably still is infested with thousands. Once a group hit a certain threshold theyd swarm it and just sit there.

No clue what theyd be doing on a forum but seen them park on others. Though Id guess not the absurd numbers yahoo gets. theres like 70 or 80 guests and a few spiders on at the moment. Could be some of the guests are searchbots. Who knows.
