Default daily spam threads...

on another forum i used to use...

they had a daily chatting sh*t thread..... which was deleted at the end of each day.

The point of this was..... so they could chat about what they wanted all day... and then afterwards, what they were talking about wasn't linked back to the forum...

for example.. they used to talk about a certain activity where you watch people in their cars... doing things that should normally be private..

woof woof? get what i mean?

and if you googled that word... and the area they were based... it used to bring up that forum. which was obviously quite embarrassing for them, and really quite funny.

but by deleting the thread every day.... it meant that it wasn't traced back to them, and they could talk about whatever they wanted...

noooooooooo

that's not my point lol

it was an example of why it works. because all the random stuff that's talked about during the day is wiped away, and a fresh start made the following morning..

google uses words on a website to find them... search for anything reptiley, and RFUK is guaranteed to be on the first page.

now would RFUK want to be known for random other things? I know it's all traffic, and all publicity is good etc, but there is a line! lol
