RE: Why so many spam bots? - Kieron - 12-31-2012
During Buildism times, we did have a tinychat room.

I've asked about it before, maybe post it in the Suggestions forum?

Why this site? We're not even a popular site yet.
It's common sense that a slower community would obviously take a while before action is taken against this spam, and these bots spam links to these sites mostly to increase the page ranking of said sites because they hardly gain profit from sending only private messages through email.

We've once had a fairly active Tinychat room, and a few people such as me and Franco went on microphone, and Glome was on cam twice.

It's a free IRC channel host.

IRC? I still am clueless on what that is.
I'm not tech-savvy.

Internet Relay Chat. It's a very popular chat method that literally every OS supports. Not to mention it can be implemented in programs (Eg. the IRC mod for minecraft that allows to you to chat in IRC rooms via your client). And it's much more powerful than tinychat.
