Something to be said for dedication and persistence

I noticed the same thing after about the 20th thread from long ago got resurrected, checked his post history and sure enough. What's odd about is he's been a member since '14

73 posts in exactly 20 minutes filling two pages.. It's an impressive feat.

Guess I need to see if I have anything that needs to be sold..

No offense. Just.. Well.. Odd

And I'll be he is using a macro to post once a minute lol. Not real hard to do,

[Iehooligan11b]

What do you mean a "macro"?

[tx07]

And I went and looked, my theory is confirmed.

Every post is methodically posted with,

Cool, nice, cool pic, nice pic, wow, cool ,cool pic, nice, nice pic repeated over and over.
Definitely a bot for the photography thread to boost post count or be a thorn in TBH's side.

I've never seen such a thing.. What's the point? Unless you wanted to harass a forum I could see the use. But this isn't harassing so I wonder what the game is..

*Edit.. I see the classified post.. I understand now.. lol.. I called it..

Automated posting brother. Basically a robot. You run a script that automates windows commands. It can be as simple as a recorded set of instructions using a recorder. Judging by the way it repeats such a shot set of messages. It is probably recorded and played back.

It can be done on pretty much anything.
I used to write bots to play games for me while I was away from the PC.

Game is to either harrass the forum, or gain post count.
Here is a very small script to a game that would basically click all the boxes very fast to complete a level. Similar to Tetris.

Opt("WinWaitDelay", 100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)
WinWait("Destruct-O-Match II", "")
If Not WinActive("Destruct-O-Match II", "") Then WinActivate("Destruct-O-Match II", "")
WinWaitActive("Destruct-O-Match II", "")
HotKeySet("{END}", "killthebot")

$bot = 0
Call("tip")

While $bot = 0
$x = Random(40, 586)
$y = Random(40, 550)
MouseClick("left", $x, $y, 4, 1)
WEnd

Func tip()
; This will create a tooltip in the upper left of the screen
ToolTip(" Thank you for using Lab's Destruct-O-Match II Bot v.1.0", 300, 40)
Sleep(2000)
ToolTip("To turn off your bot press END on your keyboard.", 300, 40)
Sleep(1000)
EndFunc ;==>tip

Func killthebot()
Exit 0
EndFunc ;==>killthebot

Hmm interesting

[tradtiger]

Yeah, I noticed the guy, as well, and commented about his "cool" post-boosting tactic to resurrect old threads. Good for him, I guess. Didn't occur to me about the classifieds; just figured he wanted to get to a certain point size.

Wow
