Why did I just get four stupid P.M.s from 4 different prople about a stupid red spoon? Is there a virus at work here?
 
Unfortunetely no...

Some members have conversations about random things like that sometimes, but I have no idea why you guys got added...
 
Speaking as a propagator, boredom is fun. :sly: I think ADHDanny's the one that started it here but it might as well originate from any other strange hole of the internet. Google turns up nothing though.

Sorry if you guys are saving on PM space for some reason. And if not, enjoy the insanity :)
 
Sorry guys, just thought I'd try something interesting.

I was interested to see what inventive answers you could come up with.

Ain't no virus.
 
It is spam, however. Bear in mind that if you send unsolicited PM's to people and they don't like it, they can always report it as they might report spam on the forums themselves. Please only send PM's to people who you know and/or you know will actually be interested in the message.
 
*sigh*

Well, I guess I'll just ignore it from now on. I got some troubling answers to the question that I thought were directed at me, and it made me worry that somehow I sent them out.

Touring Mars is correct here - abuse of our private message system can result in an infraction.
 
Hmm, I guess out of this is borne another feature request - a Reply to Sender option instead of replies being automatically Reply All (which would explain why they're still coming, since they were sent in group(s?) of 20). Although somehow I think this isn't an issue that comes up often.

If you click on "Reply" located at the lower left corner of the PM, you can compose a message directed only to the sender.
 
Man...it is getting a bit stuffy in here. Will someone open a window and let some fresh air in here.
 
I haven't had one..yet. I also hopefully won't have one.

Really I have 8 sat in my inbox right now. I was very concerned it was a virus until I spotted this thread. Though seriously I have there are worse out there, the dreaded smile avatars :scared: Almost everyone has been infected at some point.
 
I got those PM's as well. Danny don't do something like that again, please.

:)
 
Yeah, Danny, you know the group of us who will play along with jokes. We've done it many a time. I mean, it's quite obvious through a person's internet persona if they'll be confused or just fire dumb stuff right back at you. RaceIdiot, anyone?

So confine it to our little group. Besides, I haven't been a part of a three-day, 30 message PM-chain in a while.
