Yay derek!

Now, someone needs to comb the published Star Wars universe and figure out if there are any characters named derek or derekg, and if so, what they looked like.

Well, since you clearly live on Hoth (aka Canada), you can be "Wampa"

"It is a world covered in snow and ice."

haha, guess I do live on Hoth.

"The wampa's main prey is the tauntaun."

so if I'm a Wampa, then tauntaun is spam. hehe

Would love to, but you'd have to work for Infrant -- low salary, long hours, no social life, boss with pointy hair :lol:

We have to use our light sabers :lol:

Actually, the folks that have done this has been OK with switching handles. It just makes it easier for other folks to tell whether the folks they're dealing with is an Infrant employee or not.

We certainly do have a lot of network media toys to play with but just no time to play :roll:

Wait a minute... That sounds like a General Question, and since you are now the moderator, you can answer that for yourself.

A LOOP HOLE

Yeah, I would second the nomination :lol:

I'll abstain from nominations.

However, I do think making the registration hurdle just a little bit more difficult might help a bit.

by **chirpa** » Thu Feb 01, 2007 6:36 am

the hurdles already added have helped a bit.

Number of shameful bots caught by Anti-Spam ACP: 1032

but other still slip by.

maybe some stuff in here yoh-dah can fight back with:
