It appears Audiogon has been attacked by Sir Spamalot. They've been very busy.

@rocray  Trust me, we are glad this is over as well.  

FYI, We found a solution to control the spam.

Apologies for the disruption this has caused to the forums.

 

 

@czarivey , not in New Hampshire! We have no sales tax. But I really meant a federal VAT style tax. Obviously our government (USA) needs more money. Their printing presses can not make it fast enough. Who needs a gold standard. Anyone need an extra wheelbarrow ? 

I flagged about a dozen last night before hitting the hay and noticed that they weren't the usual, foreign based junk but seemed to be of US origin. The two names that they used were eerily similar to some who used to post here under many different handles making me think they were getting revenge for losing too many arguements. 

Could have been some of those basement dwelling incels that no longer post here.

All the best,

Something is broke..  Mechanics term.. When they get it fixed I'll be back..

What a mess. It does show there are not 24 hour a day moderators though. 

This mess will stay up 2-4 hours at a time... Maybe it's just a snooze brake..

Regards

Spammers vs Anti Free Speech Moderators 

 

I am rooting for the spammers. I hope they keep them very very very busy. 

I got tired of flagging all the spam I came across. Anyone else trying to flag it?

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane

And I howled at my ma in the driving rain

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag

I was schooled with a strap right across my back

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead

I fell down to my feet and saw they bled

I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread

I was crowned with a spike right through my head

But its all right now, in fact its a gas

Its all right, I'm Jumpin Jack Flash

MC ...

I know, these youngins today are a bunch of slackers. I instilled a good work ethic into my kids by making them hike across shag carpeting in order to change the channel on the eleven-inch, round-tube TV. When I was a kid, "my" TV was in the window of the local hardware store. At least you had a father. We were so poor, my Mom sold our father in order to put food on the table. And you had a butter knife? What did you do with it? We didn't have butter. We had this stuff called Oleo. It was a white block of solid grease that we put into a bowl and sprinkled red powder on it, then mixed it all up and just like magic, it turned yellow and looked like butter. Tasted like crap. 

At least you had clothes! We didn't have skin! My father skinned me to make wallets, beat me with broken bottles, cut me in half with a butter knife and danced on my grave! And I was happy to have the grave, even though it was really just rolled up in damp newspaper in a ditch. But you tell these young people today, they won't believe you!

When I was a kid, we were so poor we couldn't pay attention.

We were so poor that if it costs a dime for an overcoat for an elephant, we couldn't buy a vest for a canary.

We were so poor that if it cost a dime to go around the world, we couldn't get out of sight.

We were so poor, our clothes were so tattered and torn that whenever we would walk fast our clothes would hum.

Those were the days. But you try and tell the kids today, they won't believe you.
