My buddy's uncle used to own ASC. I asked him if anyone won!

How much would gamestop buy a nintendo ds lite for? I want to sell mine so I can have enough money to buy a ring for my girlfriend. So if any of you can help, I'll really appreciate it. My nintendo ds lite is in great condition.

Gamestop doesn't trade in video game hardware, you 'tard.

Yes they do. I've bought used systems from them before.

That said, this is probably a bot so...

Yeah they sold 2nd hand ps2's for ages at least at EBGames (Aussie Gamestop).

C'mon, guys... if I'm being THAT dumb, it's fairly obvious I'm not serious.
...
Or maybe THEY JUST ANNOUNCED A CHANGE IN POLICY!11

the fact that these "spambots" aren't spewing links of sone kind would throw someone off...

I have noticed that the spambots always seem to have "i need help" as their signature.

That particular spambot posted in three different forums that I frequent.

Spambots has become human-like over the years, no doubt.

Manual approval of a users' first post(s) is a great spam deterrent. Combine with lots of anti-bot registration techniques. Even if they get through eventually after fooling a moderator into thinking they're human, they've wasted so much of their time compared to your one click to activate, one click to ban, that I consider it a public service =)

I figured it was a 'bot. I decided to have some fun, in my sleep-deprived state.

I don't get the point. The only brandname it even mentions is the DS, and I somehow doubt that Nintendo would pay someone to do a post like this.

A. Companies tend to make deals with just ad companies. They don't always approve each and every ad. My mom has gotten spam advertising products from highly respected companies.

B. It was probably Gamestop behind this.

C. Bunch of bots have done "real" posts, then come back and edited links in later.
