I recall hearing a tale of some infamous spammer. People got to know who he was, so about 100,000 people started sending him all of his spam by (snail ) mail. The guy got hopping mad and wanted to sue everyone who sent him his spam back.


Okay, now that's just awesome.

Hah thats great...

Also, I was checking up on spam laws. In the US, spam is unsolcited emails and that has become illegal. This type of spam isn't illegal. And i'm sure readily availible information from your ISP or right out of your computer even isn't illegal to acquire, its you or your ISP's fault for posting it on the internet :) And telling an ISP that they're hosting a spammer at an IP is certainly not illegal, but definitely satisfactory :wink:

Yeah, that's the one. Poetic justice at its greatest, I say.

I think if Ryan wanted to spam he would do it himself... Or use his amazing superior hacking powers to destroy the forums, right?

And this guy is really pathetic, as Jera said. I'd personally like to condone hunting him down and sending him to Robot Hell. Actually, no, the music in Robot Hell is awesome; just make him alternate between playing Big Rigs and Superman 64 for all eternity.

Eh, you're right, there could be worse than him. Just E.T. for the Atari 2600, then.

How do you make a game based around E.T., a friendly extraterrestrial? Is it all mini-games involving cycling away from the police?
