It seems that he's IM'ing me for every time he's butt rammed another dude. It's up to like 200 now...pretty nasty.

Yes, it is obvious, that only a homosexual could be doing this.

Hmmm..........

So if people that don't have their AIM name in their profiles are getting hit.... what does that mean?

Maybe it's some sort of IM worm that uses other peoples contact lists to propagate?

I don't list my AIM or other screennames when I register for forums. If anyone wants to talk to me on AIM or on Yahoo, they're welcome to PM me and we'll set something up. I never get disturbed by bots, and I don't have unknown users blocked.

I would like to, but to get an IP.. you have to also give them your IP.. at least, getting it through DC..

I haven't been hit in a while.. my block list is a mile long, lol.. not sure if I got them all or what.
