Dear Spambots

I notice with extreme prejudice that you continue to invade, infest, and otherwise annoy freefall.purrsia.com with your pestilential ads for V14gr4, pr0n, Ci.al.1s, Florida Everglades Real Estate, and a host of other things, none of them legitimate or interesting.

That's fine. Just be aware:

1) This forum has 7 vigilant moderators, and your posts are deleted as soon as they appear.
2) Your every incarnation is banned.
3) The ISP's of your criminal and mephitic products are notified, and your host sites are often taken down.
4) You're going to Hell. You heard me.

Does the forum have an IP address blacklist? It works wonders, believe me.

No clue. Much smarter people than I would know - folks like Mako, Cerberus, Tugrik and others.

Not only that, but if you really wanted our revenue, you would not be selling that, but stuff that we really want, like T-shirts, comic books, web hosting for webcomics, and stuff of the like.

Anything else will get your information terminated with extreme prejudice...

If I'd made that poster, I would have omitted "in hell" for being too obvious. Then again, it could be taken as an insult to scammers' intelligences that we felt it necessary.

Now that you mention it, I think omitting "in Hell" would have added to the impact.

[Edit: So I've fixed it.]

I appreciate your agreement, but... why do I see the same message as before?

Because you're looking at a cached page. Hit F5 and see if that changes the image. If you're using Firefox, you may need to close it and restart.

Okay, refreshing worked. (Eesh, I still click the icon rather than F5.)

The Nice needs a better CAPTCHA. The default one wouldn't fool any spambot.

I'm working on an improved version. That should fix most of the problem right there.

Yeah, I saw that detailed post. Sounds intriguing, and very needed.
