Are you joking? This IS an astronomy forum.

/points to the name of the website, forum, etc...

Go elsewhere if you want that stuff, there's no rule stating you must visit only one forum (though if there was, this would be a decent candidate).

That's fine. I thought it was a joke. And I visited your country last summer. It's amazing and you are all very good people!

Edit: Since , I have discovered through the auspices of search-engine giant Google, Inc., that Huoliuhi is a bumper on many forums about the Web, and most of the activity I sampled was very, very recent. Huoliuhi is either an individual obsessed with bumping articles in many and disparate forums, or maybe Huoliuhi is the test of a spambot, or some other automated low-life, parasitic activity -- but I'd love to be proved wrong. Huoliuhi? What are you?

Edit, next day: Huoliuhi's post disappeared. Huoliuhi disappeared. Apparently a moderator took action. From another topic bumped by Huoliuhi, others recalled another member who did similar: Lihualee. In their highly numerous bump topics around the Web, a frequent feature was signatures that linked to various World-of-Warcraft Gold sites. I do believe they had a common origin, and their purpose was not discussion of our common interests, but advertising -- spamming our eyeballs with links to their commercial ventures. And good riddance, if so.

Now, the tactic and method is memorialized here to help us recognize their kind more easily when next one appears.

Keywords: bump wow world of warcraft gold spam wowgold

Keywords: bump wow world of warcraft gold spam wowgold
One other keyword: centsbump

That's specific to one of the text lines the bot uses.
