  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Anyone else get spammed through their PM?
« on: February 02, 2011, 11:52:12 am »
It looks like someone already cleaned up the mess, but I'd received an email saying I had a PM, which didn't exist anymore when I came here to view it. The email said it was from a user named UpAndDown, the subject was "New Personal Message: The things they do not want you to know..." and the message said:

MAME: The Emperor's New Clothes

Yeah, I haven't been following any of that ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. I didn't even know about it until that message and I still don't give a ---fudgesicle---. Spamming is the wrong course to take.

I reported mine
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Thought he was targeting me only.

What a nut job.
