Re: lycos's spam offensive
 

Isn't this just going to add more useless traffic to the network and to the rest of the internet?
I'm not convinced it is enitirely legal anyway.

Re: lycos's spam offensive
 

The spammers aren't exactly legit...

EDIT: It looks like the spammers have launched a counter attack by denying service to makelovenotspam.com - could this be the start of the 1st Internet War? :D

Re: lycos's spam offensive
 

Sorry? Launching DOS attacks is now *legal*???

So lets settle this

Settled on voted multiplayer game of choice.
