It's spam. Leave them alone. Don't trust 'em.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I'm guessing it's a flat out lie, meant to frighten us into buying their services (if they're even there to sell services any more, see ita's frequently liked-to Wired article on the subject of sellerless spam).
I could find the FAQ page just fine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would never! Just thought it might be worth reporting.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I get those all the time. Tis spam.

Okay I just started getting the cool Buffistas B in my url address window when I'm in the message center but it morphs back into the boring explorer e when I go into a thread. Just thought I'd share.
ETA: NSM on the home page either.

Wolfram, I've found that IE is amazingly capricious about whether or not it shows those icons. I've also found that when I add a bookmark for a site with one of them, it will show the icon beside the bookmark for a while, then for no apparent reason it goes back to the Explorer icon.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Halp! Natter 17 won't load for me when I click on it. Yes, I changed my profile to subscribe to it. What's wrong?

The title is strangely broken -- that may have something to do with it.
Looking at code in a sec.
edit: no longer broken. Go whoever

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I fixed it. There needed to be quotes around the times class. (i.e. class="times").

Fixed now. Thanks, whomever.
