The bots are getting smart

I'm now getting this in my Blog shoutbox (no idea if anyone else is)
They're all links to some shitty scam site, and the poster doesn't have a profile, just another shitty scam site.

Edit: Just checked other people's. They're everywhere!

Yeah, they've got a bit smarter. The forum software is completely up to date, but because of the other mods installed on this forum, there are slight problems when updating.

It's probably because that's the forum that has the permanent link from the main portal.

I wonder if black metal FANG is really an advanced bot out to destroy the TBB as revenge for all the bot posts we've massacred.
