If it is a bot, it sure is highly selective on who receives a PM and who doesn't.

How are they even finding us?

IF MSP got one with 10,000 posts this doesn't seem to fit your trend at all LOL

I also got one and I have over 1,000 posts so yeah your theory doesn't hold water.

I really doubt it's a bot..:/ unless...he is selecting users over the letter 'M' O_o

EDIT: Never miiind.. XD

Indeed it is quite strange...what the heck is this thing's method to the madness?

Its probably a person acting like a bot.

Also whoever it may be is probably reading this thread and laughing.

Maybe its a member on the thread who got bored and decided to PM lots of people with a different username just for the heck of it. Just to see what kind of reactions he/she would get.

I haven't posted in weeks, and I got one. O.o

Postby **Dante** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 8:21 pm

I have one as well, I know that some people come to CAA because they want a place where they chat without bad language and other immoral behaviors that are considered acceptable on other forums. Because this is a Christian website we filter the riff raff out automatically. Further, being that we're all Christian there is no real use in anyone trying to convert anyone else to Christ so they generally don't have worry about the E-word (It terrifies a lot of people like the plague).

I actually know a Catholic Nun who was also Buhdist but left being a nun (I think you would have to wouldn't you) to become a college professor and now has several degrees even though I'm pretty sure she's still a Christian. That stated, it isn't actually impossible for someone to be both Bhudist and Christian according to her, as one is simply a philosophy (Bhudism) while the other spiritual (Christianty).

It would take a LOT of effort to put out that many PMs though, so he's likely a troll... if not then he's just misdirecting his energy and should post in the Who's who section as an intro. Still, this isn't really a place for debating religion by the rules, so the current actions kinda need to be redirected to other sites, but it's still a cool place to hang out for those who dislike the ill-moral behavior found elsewhere on the web.

I got one too.

I clicked on the link provided, and it looked familiar to me, and after a quick search of my email, I realised I had been sent the same page (actually same contents, but different address) by PM on another forum.

A quick Google search also reveals other forums which have had these same Buddhism-related PM sendings.

I also received a PM, but didn't report it because I just had my wisdom teeth removed. Mom doesn't want me near the computer. =P Couch time. :lol:

Postby **termyt** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 5:36 am

The site has been taken down. There's a meesage from "Admin" that the stie has been deleted due to "abuse."

Not sure exactly what that means - whether the owner of the site was the abuser or the abusee.

The link in buddha's PM still works for me.

Postby **mitsuki lover** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 12:03 pm

I guess I was one of the lucky ones as the bot missed me.

Postby **Kaligraphic** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 2:12 pm

Sadly, no love from Buddha for me. I guess I'll stick with Jesus.

Postby **Kat Walker** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 2:43 pm

I got one too. Seems like somebody is hacking vbulletin forums.

Why spam people with buddhism, of all things?

I also got one - I thought about it reporting it, but ddin't.

I got one...>..> I thought they were just trying to introduce themselves. XD XD Or just lonley so they Pm'ed me.

Postby **SolidÃ…rmor** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 4:39 pm

Seems everyone getting them appear to be in their early teens, to early twenties? I know I still haven't gotten one. And that is perfectly fine with me.

I am too. I like meeting friendly new people. *sighs* He or she was probably the nicest bot I've met though.

wow I must be hated by Buddha... I got nothin'

See how unreliable that figure is?

*huggles Jesus* At least I can talk to this guy everyday! :3

You ain't alone C.K., I got nothing either...but that's okay. I'm not complaining.

No Pms over here.

Postby **Authority3000** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 4:49 pm

I got one of those PMs from 'buddha' a couple of days ago. Which I thought was rather strange since I hadn't posted or logged in for over a year.

The notification of the PM I received in my email inbox reminded me that the CAA existed. It also convinced me to convert to Bhudism.

(okay, that last part is obviously not true)

Postby **Mave** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 5:32 pm

Last time I checked, no one in Buddhism hates anyone. I've always had the impression that it's believed that anyone has the capability of achieving nirvana but you're kinda on your own in doing that.

I did not receive the PM but I wouldn't have been bothered by it, either.

Well, thank Buddha that you got the pm, then.

Postby **creed4** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 9:14 am

I got one too, and asked about it in the Chat room, I was kinda unsettling, but this stuff does happen, we need to pray for them, that they will know the saving power of Christ.

Postby **mitsuki lover** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 11:11 am

Maybe Buddha doesn't like us Scots-Irish-Welsh-English-French-Swiss-German-Dutch types. :sweat:

Postby **Okami** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 7:12 pm

Buddha's been banned. But nevertheless, I'd say continue praying for the person (if they aren't a bot) that they would be saved

Even if they were a bot, someone had to set it up for that purpose

Postby **mitsuki lover** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 11:15 am

That still doesn't solve the mystery of why only certain people were targeted.
