Title: The day Amiga.org got spammed by bots.
Post by: Tension on November 17, 2010, 10:58:45 PM

Can you guess what date that was?

The clue is on the Amiga.org homepage.

First to get the date wins a $50 voucher, available at amiga-anywhere.com, which will be "good for any of: complete system, motherboards and OS4.0 or just OS4.0".

Good luck folks!

On an slightly similar note, what are these spiders & slurp spider that lurk about, I've noticed they tend to head straight for new blogs  and I've seen one or two trying to post things, I even noticed one trying to modify a login password, what are these things... :confused:

If they're counting anonymous users (which I imagine they must be,) I can't see that number being too hard to believe.

Why, there are 153 online at this very moment!
