hi....so basicly i have been going to threads and noticed something strange, most of the some what recent post are gone. i also have noticed that my profile changed even though i havent changed it and now it will not change back. i have also seen the threads and they are like "random thread-last post 3 weeks ago". just wondering if this is happening to anyone else or if it is time for a new cpu...

I wonder if all of the adbots are just another April fool's day thing.


Its not a very funny prank if it is one. Its just annoying really and they've come up with better things before. I think its just people trying to make money hopefully the CAPTCHA will stop it. I 'spoes we'll see soon.

What I meant was that they're gonna give AG the socially transmitted cyber disease of spam bots (like cyber crabs) and then kill it... so as to be prepared for when a legitimate problem were to show up. It's similar to the idea of vaccinations. I mean... I'm more than likely wrong. I'm just having fun with it.

Anyone remember this from last year?

Mr. Shyamalan is notorious for his ridiculous twists he incorporates into the movies he writes and directs. It was silly for me to reference it like that, but people will often times say add a ridiculous twist to some story and then say "Directed by M. Night Shyamalan" just because they find it humorous... you obviously didn't. My apologies for my bad humor.

*fails CAPTCHA because cannot spell*

So now the CAPTCHA is implemented for forum posts. There goes my fantasy of having Mike Tyson as a registered AG friend... And like other solutions, it works best if we have a day to record the results of how the solution worked. The registered CAPTCHA didn't work, maybe the forum post one will.

@picture: no amount of portrayal or imagery can fully explain Gantic's wrath.

I didn't know of any CAPTCHA for account creation on AG.

Oh great, now I have to enter a frickin' CAPTCHA when I post. I can't even read some of these... and the audio ones don't make sense either.

I don't know if I'm a human or not!

Exactly! I fear for people like Ernie, who are robots.

It seems the captcha isn't helping. More spam ads were recently posted in the Forum Games.

I've already failed the CAPTCHA once, and that's not even counting all the times I've had to refresh the page.

Luckily my AI does include the ability to read, so 70% of the time I can figure out what the CAPTCHA is saying.
