Newguy is a bot

[newsguy]

I found this page in my logs and thought I would use it to identify him http://www.spiffysoft.com/myposter/
http://www.spiffysoft.com/myposter/boards.php

It was not hard to find out what member it was , thois guy makes lots of posts but is never around for the follow up.

Now the interesting part, what will happen when I hit send? Will it make the posts to this long list of foruims under the newsguy name, will it make it under my name on only the forums I am a member of and have the appropriate cookie or will it not post at all?

I dont get it?

From what I can tell, there used to be a script at those URL's that would automatically post to many, many SEO message boards.

Look at newsguy's posts. Then search for a few on Google. You'll see the exact same posts on various message boards. <YAWN>

I am guessing the reason for this is to create an automated process of sending messages to all the boards and in the process getting lots of inbound links yes?
