It was a pretty cool show.

I also don't mind saying that I used to love "The Brady Bunch." I used to run home from playing to watch "Emergency" then "The Brady Bunch"--with my large can of Very Berry Hawaiian Punch.

They're back... I can delete their threads when they post them, but I don't know how to ban the accounts.

^ It's a badly scripted bot. It has no intentions. Apparently of asian origin.

Overall there is at the moment at least 10 pages of it in the first 6 topics.
It's so fast that it outpaces actual posts in a 2:1 ratio in active discussions on the main page.

I notice that a lot of the spam threads in GAD have been locked rather than deleted. Is that intentional?

It might be, but it shouldn't be. Locking them doesn't accomplish anything. They'll be deleted later today.

This will go down in WP history as the Spambot Attack of 2015.

People will post about what they were doing when it happened.

Some conceptions will take place because couples had time on their hands due to not much happening on WP while the battle commenced. :lol:

Look at the speed at which they post! On the General Autism subforum it's a post almost every minute. Seems pretty impossible for the mods to keep up with this.
