The message above, boys and girls, is a link spam. It's not meant so much for us reader as for search engines. The message contained a link (now removed) so that (the spammer hoped) search engines' ranking algorithms would see a lot of links to that site and push its ranking up.

Of course, Google changed their algorithms so that this kind of ruse doesn't work anymore. But spammers are a bit slow to adapt.

The moral is, don't answer that kind of pointless messages. There is no human being behind it (except the guy that read the captcha to create the BBS account). And admins will delete it soon. Or worse, turn it into a pompous object lesson :-).
