This newsbot is exploding.
I don't recall the news node ever having actual news that doesn't pertain to vidya games. And what booster said, 9 threads up already just by this bot.
This bot is annoying.
Newsbotnet.
Did you guys really already forget what happens once Garry adds a new bot?
[QUOTE=Mikesword221;27236224]Did you guys really already forget what happens once Garry adds a new bot?[/QUOTE] People gets banned for having an opinion? Ops, that happens all the time [highlight](User was banned for this post ("no opinions" - garry))[/highlight]
Finally, a bot other than Rock Paper Shotgun. [QUOTE=Nuggi1994;27236238]People gets banned for having an opinion? Ops, that happens all the time[/QUOTE] Because people have ignorant, uneducated, and often times offensive opinions all the time.
If you don't like this newsbot don't click at it's threads, easy that. News about computer stuff don't need to be solely games related.
[QUOTE=mercurius;27236400]If you don't like this newsbot don't click at it's threads, easy that. News about computer stuff don't need to be solely games related.[/QUOTE] All news should be game related. Or should be compared to an event in Postal...
These are tech news, they're appropriate here. Plus, this piece specifically is interesting enough to be posted.
A BBC news bot? All we need now is one that posts facebook status updates and I'll never have to leave facepunch :v:
Hurray! Less Viagra ads in my spam folder.

Alot of nigerians are getting arrested.
Not one post here is about the article
My post was, what's yours like?
oh fuck, here comes spam and phishing that are indestinguishable from real emails :tinfoil:
that scale is in the billions? WHAT THE FUCk I use gmail and maybe get 10 spam emails per year.
I see nothing wrong with the newsbot. I find this interesting.
Calm before the storm?
[QUOTE=AwesomeCanadian;27264465]Calm before the storm?[/QUOTE] Exactly.
Maybe the wealthy Nigerian bankers have ran out of money for their internet?
I remember reading on Slashdot that the spam level dropped a few years ago too. Not sure if it had risen back up since then or not though.
No more Nigerian princes in need of my aid? damn, I needed a few billion dollars.
I'd love another avatar for this bot.
At least they didn't make a Fox newsbot.

We should have a news node news node bot, it posts every time a thread is made in the news node
[QUOTE=Zeke129;27270498]We should have a news node news node bot, it posts every time a thread is made in the news node[/QUOTE] Why stop there? We need one for every comment made in the In The News section
