Looks like Gearslayer just splattered a bunch of welcome messages on old threads again. It’s completely meaningless to the people who joined months ago to get a generic shotgun welcome message now, and it screws with people who use the forum’s "New Posts" function to scan posts for relevant stuff to participate in. It’s quite clear that he’s only doing it for the advertising.

So I guess I won’t be participating today. Or maybe for a few days.
