Shopsmith Forums

Get ready. Here comes another list of those all born an the same date.

They are here. There will be more.

I used to think all these "members" were related to spam, but that didn't make sense as "they" never posted.

One thing they have in common is that there is link to some commercial web site in their signature lines.

I am starting think that the purpose of these "members" was that link in their signature line. We never see it here, as "they" never post anything, but it does get picked up by the Bots that scan this forum, and there by help push the commercial site links higher in search engine results.

I seem to recall that we stopped having them sign up in droves when admin blocked web links in the address line, so that would fit.
