And I blamed Steam for all the crashes... thanks for opening my eyes, Whistler! :D

Hey, wait a minute - isn't the name "Bots-United" very suspicious in this respect? So this is the hive where worms and viruses are bred... 8o

maybe they are planning to destroy all our computers at once when many people get bots off this site... :| :| :|

Some virurii are called bots because they are used in DDOS attacks. They are usually run by a botmaster who has taken control of a number of infected pc's and they can be directed via irc. Keep AV software up to date.

Aw, Silver Ghost - don't spoil our fun by posting serious & reasonable comments! We were right in the middle of forging a really nice bullshit conspiration theory... :D Which reminds me: Maybe we are safe after all - we have a botman and a botmeister, but no botmaster - phew! ;)

(And don't worry. We got our shields up...)
