The strange link between BSL and Viagra

Ah, the wonders of the illiterate spammer. We have a mad Aussie on here who registers every week or so to advertise some ridiculous company or other - and he can't even make the link work. It must take him at least 20 minutes to fill in all the forms and stuff and then his spam is hopeless. I always delete him pretty quickly too - but he keeps coming back.

Viva the crap spammer!

It's not as daft as it looks. It's randomly generated text, like Lorem Ipsum, from sites such as this : johno.jsmf.net/knowhow/ngrams/index.php which is used in order to ensure maximum hits and high ranking by the search engines.

I'd suggest you don't visit the site. Up to you if you want to risk it, but my browser latched up until I broke the internet connection. It's doing more than just displaying a page!

You mean the cache or the text generator? Both were declared safe by my filter (Safe: This page contains no active threats.)and I had no probs (or I wouldn't have posted it obviously) but don't visit if in any doubt, of course!

I had the problem when accessing the text gen.

The trouble with filters and firewalls and such is that they give the illusion of security when you are anything but safe! In accessing the page, you are running a php script. The page it returns might be 'safe' in the sense that it contains no malicious scripts of its own, but in order to make the HTTP request you've had to give out a lot of information about your computer. Computer info + server side script = lots of scope for harm, and the bad stuff might not be in the page.
