Yet again our forum members share questions that they must suffer though while at work, home, or while out and about.
 
Hit and run forum registrations E-mail

It's bad enough that there are bots out there that do nothing more than register fake accounts on forums throughout the internet. It's even worse that there are actual human beings out there that insist on creating forum accounts, using them for two posts, and then never use them again.

Either they realize that the community isn't for them, the community isn't going to help them with their problems, or they don't have the time needed to catch up with the amount of new posts that are made on a daily basis.

There are, however, some people out there that FORGET that they ever setup such an account and will actually email you back telling you how much of an asshole you are for sending them a twice-a-year update to all forum members.

It's always comforting, however, to pull up their forum profile and view the hostname that the registration came from, and then match it up with the hostname that the email came from. It's always the same and that's good enough evidence for me to know that the person on the other end is a complete moron.

So please, guys, keep the emails coming after I send out forum updates to all registered members. It's a good laugh. In fact, I should do it more often then.
