Weird posts and usernames

[Veggiemama]

Hi, i am guessing those weird posts and weird user names are of the adult content.

Do people really have nothing else in their lives.

I mean, why on earth would someone waste their time going onto forums putting up that

I can think of a hundred odd things i could do if i had a bit of spare time...this is definately not one of them.

For those of you that are doing it....

Do you need to talk to someone?
Are you lonely?
Would you like to do some gardening?
I have a pile of ironing that needs doing.
Why dont you ......get up from your computer and go do something less boring instead

Quite often these weird posts aren't an actually person - it is a spambot/spider thingy whatever they are called, they are automated - but yes, I guess someone must have to set them up in the first place.

Why would they want to? I guess, because they can

Spare time - sounds nice
