Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Still a bit strange that they're only targeting the ebook forum...

I'm betting since ebooks are such a hot topic right now, it's one of their key search terms. But that's just a guess.

Wonder if we could change it up in some way to foil their search routines. Hmm. Will need to think on that... (I doubt there's anything terribly effective, but maybe something that will reduce the numbers somewhat.)

Re: (Human) spambots are back :(

The weird thing about the Bobby Dollar one is that, in a weird twisted way, that could be a legit-sounding header for a sci-fi/fantasy discussion.  :)

Killed both spams. They've started spamming the Mint as well.

Gone. FWIW, e-books is almost certainly the target just for being the topmost forum in the list.

Re: (Human) spambots are back :(

So maybe we should create another forum above e-books and call it "spam". :D
