Which is cool, but seriously, you people should sign up.

Thats kind of creepy...

They also attempt to PM people and create threads...all they do is index. Try doing a search on your username, and don't be surprised if your profile comes up, or an old thread that you posted in.

i tried this a few weeks ago, but their index is all messed up, it pulls up a link to my profile, but when you click on it, it goes to someone elses...
