I posted a thread in General Hardware on 3/27, today I was trying to more research on the subject and searched "G530 HTPC" in Bing and the results showed the same thread on another forum??? WTF... I never heard of that site and didn't dare click it... has some Arabic fonts... My post here has 10 replies and that one has zero (in bings preview). WTF...

Spambots need to mirror a real person to appear real. I got banned and all my posts deleted on a product support forum because they incorrectly thought *I* was the one copying the MULTIPLE spam posts. It's really sad because I had the only useful posts their and it's clear that there was zero moderation until I began reporting "myself."

I see a lot of forums that are just archives or copies of another. It's happened to a few of my posts over the years. The sites themselves are basically traps.

No worries.

Man up, grow a pair, and click the link. What could possibly go wrong? Forget Admiral Ackbar for once.

:biggrin: I will probably do it from home... I am overtly curious, if I didn't see the Arab fonts I would have done from where I am right now...

nice cover. once the mods find out your true identity you'll have this thread conveniently "proving" your innocence
