To advertise lavacat/pocketcake. It's not exactly unexpected of a 12-year old like herself.Aar said:You're serious.

Basically to inform you of a free game. Don't you like free games on your android phone or tablet?Aar said:You're serious.

We are newspaper journalists, not Wikipedia or college papers. Our goal is just to inform you of free games. This is actually the only forum out of 350 we've experienced negative feed back. Perhaps the atmosphere is set by your fearless leader.ZarroTsu said:I'm sorry high-heel, I can't stand to look at you. I... I'm ad-blocking your face. Sorry.
Also did "Cathie Sims" give you permission to paste the opening post? I ask because fuck you. I'm sorry -- I say this preemptively because you'd inevitably express that you don't "need permission" to copy someone else's work without at least citing the source. Grown-up type people call this plagiarism.
This is of course ignoring the fact that top-x lists rely solely on either information a reader doesn't already know, or information that is on-par with what a reader does know. Since none of the above are "Cave Story", I don't think you know your audience. (How does one 'pac' a man? And what is this "tet'ed-ris" you speak of?)
Although it's evident that "Cathie Sims" might be a little too addicted to Mario considering his entry is longer than the other five combined. So I don't think it was a professional writer to begin with, making the lack of source citation a lot more obnoxious.
(Maybe if I adblock "highheelgamer"? But I don't think that would hide her posts...)

That's how spambots work, except those are computer-driven as opposed to minivan-driversEnlightenedOne said:I'm just wondering why they supposedly Copy-pasted multiple crappy advertisements on 350 different forums...
Well here's an explanation for you. Once upon a time there was a.... company? called pocketcake. It must have involved at least two people. These pocketcake people were upset that no one cared about them. So they decided to spam some 350 forums with random articles to advertise themselves. One person posted the spam while the others pretended to like it and said great things about it that weren't "negative feedback." All these threads were locked soon afterwards, which helped them, since no one could say anything bad if it was locked. One day, these people came across a forum called the Cave Story Tribute Site Forums. One of these pocketcake people made an account called "highheelgamer" and started posting stuff right away. However, before her(?) buddies came, people got pissed. Suddenly, she got all defensive and started acting like we were supposed to be happy someone had come to advertise their company by pointlessly spamming. She claimed that we were the only forum out of 350 that had "negative feedback." I hope that clears things up a little.EnlightenedOne said:... I don't care about HHG's age or the sources or anything else that people are punishing "her" for,
I'm just wondering why they supposedly Copy-pasted multiple crappy advertisements on 350 different forums...
On second thought, if your pocketcake company is honest... HOW THE HECK did you manage to get 350 Forums to support this crap.
If anything, I think you honestly deserve a medal if this ignorant-style marketing worked that many times before us.
