I didn't.
The only PMs I have are from Moonstar, Mercuria, Betty Ann, Nephlite's Girl, TINS, PrincessKitty, and Usagi.
I think.

There is a member named louise whom joined this site at 8:46 AM. She hasn't posted anywhere else yet, but we'll keep an eye out.

Well that's the exact reason I created this here thread(damn, how sloppy of me, when I said 3:50 pm I actually posted my local time... that's 1:50 pm, and that's 4 minutes after louise's joining time) Senseless post, no subject, not related to the forum, stayed logged on for less than 15 minutes, yet made no public posts. Spam bot alert anybody? But PM spam bots aren't nice, because they always capture the emails of their victims(presuming they are displayed in the "profile" page. And we all know what spammers do with email addresses

Maybe it is just a person with bad language/typing skills who saw that you'd posted and was asking you how... forums work or something.
Believe me, some people just have some kind of reading/writing/communication problems. I get weirder stuff from The Oracle's contact form. You have nooooooooooo idea.

Ok, then uh, can you make more sense out of that message? Because the way I see it, it's just some(very badly written) universally available message! Damn if that was somebody testing it's spamming software, we're in for it * But please do share some of the contact form easter egg thingies * actually staff members are those that would have to clean up the mess, so YOU're in for it There, topic title changed, that should make things easier ;D

"hi there nice to this site it looks very cool, nut one thing what is ot about" translation: "Hi there! I'm new to this site and it's nice to be here. It looks very cool, but I have one question... what is it all about? What am I supposed to do here?" fun from the contact form: - one person thanked me for posting all my "nice cowboy & indian videos" - one person DEMANDED that Usagi had an older sister and a grandmother who were apparently the same person named Sailor Sun. She kept sending this over and over after I told her that it wasn't actual information, and then she started asking me about Usagi's aunts/cousins/extended family. I told her there weren't any, and she got really mad at me. - another person sent me 218702871276 emails asking me what Usagi, Rei, Ami, etc take to school in their lunchboxes. I sent her a link about traditional bento boxes, and then she decided what they took in their boxes and demanded that I put it on the site as official information. Those are just the ones that stuck out in my memory... I get some really bizarre stuff.

Haha cowboy and indian videos? Well! That's the makings of a great western. I guess those people want to feel important as well for having some official-ish information that isn't quite official.

It looks very cool, but I have one question... what is it all about? What am I supposed to do here?" Well yeah, that makes sense... sort'a! But if you can figure out how to send a message to a random online user(yeah, I should really log off when I navigate away from the forum) you can also figure out how to post a message in any given board. And you can't exactly say you don't know what this forum/site is all about. Besides the obnoxious logo images, there's no way you could get here from the outside unless linked by/from a place related to Sailor Moon. I mean, it's hard to even get a google result for this forum if you don't know the title! So yeah, I ain't sending no reply It's just not worth it!

ok i feel i need to step in here i talked to louise - she got here from proboards but she did't know about sailor moon and asked what the site was about and the rp section, be nice guys, it is possible to find a site other than by a direct link from another forum like betty said... and spam bots in my experience usually don't reply and they post on the actual forum with junk

Not to sound rude, but when someone whom no one knows sends a PM to another member (not an admin) with really poor grammar, it's bound to raise suspicion. The internet is a tricky place. In any case, since she doesn't know about Sailor Moon, she should definitely check main site out. Methinks that's the reason Betty Ann created it.
