Bob, you can only display 100 posts in your profile. He posted 275 posts since he became a member today.

This is true. I processed all of the links on the profile page, reloaded and processed again, ad infinitum until the profile page was empty.

I'm sure the weirdness with existing posts not showing up in the profile has something to do with the fact that I was zapping one per second. Probably a bit too fast.

I checked, and I'd sent delete commands earlier for each of those post that didn't get zapped. They got removed from the profile but not from the threads. I bet it'll work if I delete them at 5-second intervals. No, I don't want to test it. :)

Looks like Brad is going to have to write you some new tools.

Well, usually if there's a tool I'm lacking, I go ahead and write it myself.

Does the spam bot work under the new system?

I'm guessing it doesn't. If it does, SP got around it by varying his messages just enough. But I doubt it's been written for the new site yet.

Normally if you post about 10 of
the same message, you will get an automated warning.

Actually, 6 will get you a warning and attempted to post the 7th one will get your account terminated.

Cheap advertising for 60 bucks.

Definitely. I have no qualms about us keeping the money. Our legitimate advertisers would probably love to reach eyeballs that cheaply.
