there are certain individuals in a coin collecting forum found here:
http://forums.collectors.com/index.cfm
that made it their livelyhood to increase their post counts as quickly as possible. (this was a good two years ago already) Back a year to two ago I was one of these people. The "testing" forum was often spammed relentlessly to the tune of hundreds of thousands of posts for about a month before they cracked down... it was quite funny.
Also the "general collectables" forum was a target after they cracked down on test posts.. people talking about collecting things like doorknobs, clothespins, and other rather amusing but pointless things. It was quite fun at the time.. brings back memories.
That forum also had a glitch where if you started a poll then deleted it, the post would still be there but be invisible, so you could spam and spam and nobody knew you were doing it.
Just thought I would tell you that story. Some of the people who were there back when I was there, such as clw54, who cracked 10000 while I was there and then I left, are still there now and have over 30000 posts... simply amazing. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
