1. Had a spammer in the Lounge

at 10pm EST. But he was gone inside of 5 minutes. I hit the alert button when I signed back on at 10:02pm.

2. Can you explain the specifics???

Was he/she just a distruptor, or trying to plant a virus, or something???

[Swede]

3. His post repeated like 110 times.

5. Aw, sweet.

I saw something like that on the Viking Update message board a few years ago.

4. There have been at least two 'script kiddies'

Come in with some kind of script (program) they've written that 'machine gun' posts garbage over and over in a very short period of time. I think there was one this morning, then another one about a half-hour ago.

6. pardon my lack of jargon knowledge

what's a freeper?

[SmileyBoy]

7. Someone who posts at the anti-DU board, Free Republic.

Or as I like to call it, Der FreiRepublikkk. It's a neo-con, right-wing fundy, corporatist idiot site that's like the rival of DU.

A "freeper" is someone who is usually linked to that board.

And welcome to DU!!!:hi:

8. Welcome!

A freeper is a general term for republicans with computers, they live over at FreeRepublic.com and they are a nasty little bunch.
There's a DU dictionary somewhere, where did we put that? Gotta Bookmark that....

9. Freepers have been here in droves today!

I have a fairly bad cold so I have been here on and off most of the day.

12. Kind of sad

that they lead such pathetic lives that they would spend so much time over here. It's not like they really accomplish anything. Just annoying little gnats.

13. Hi Prolesunited!

Yes it is annoyiing but on one of the threads there were a few of us having fun debunking their gargage, Catwoman, NSMA, MediaLiesDaily and me of course. One was even so clever he posted on PeteNYC's thread as a reply entitled Simpletons which at first appearance would fit with what another poster had written. Anyway, yes it wouls seem their chat room isn't stimulating enough.
BTW I'm still going to do what I said but I went out of town to Santa Fe and came back with a nasty cold, I'm in bed right now but can't sleep.

14. Hi yourself!

:hi:
Haven't really been around for a couple of days, so I've missed all the excitment.

Hope you feel better soon! Take care of yourself first. :hug:
