And the flat's just been Daved. I'd forgotten how entertaining he is in his mouse-destroying ways.

Katharine's a little traumatised though. She kind of hoped they would just "go away"....

Yikes! looks apprehensive.

The graffiti at the end of the 'So help me God...' game is very weird. It's clearly spam - there's been about one attempt per hour to spam that game (so I've closed it) but it's very odd spam.

And since its whimsy is not entirely contra the spirit of this site, I'm tempted to leave it in...

Having just gone and looked, I think you're right. "Zhili byli" = "Silly billy"?

Ich besichtige deinen Aufstellungsort wieder bald fur sicheres! Übrigens, bin ich ein Arschloch

Schön. Looks like the link threshold might have to be reduced if this game is starting to be targetted.

What is the purpose of those links in random websites anyway? Is it supposed to get picked up by search engines or something?

[snorgle] I dunno really. Just presumed its cos they're twats!

[snorgle] Yes, but I suspect it may be counter-productive. If link spam is not removed, that suggests the site it's on is moribund. If the link spam is removed, that means the site is live and the spam is unwelcome. And if the search engines score -1000000 page rank points when a link is removed, and only +1 page rank point when a link is added, spam-that-gets-removed very rapidly depresses the original inflated page rank scores. I assume the search engines' page rank algorithm is a bit more sophisticated than that, but I think that captures the gist of what they can do.

So, err, should I remove it then?

Hell, yes. :-)
