Is this website any good, and if it just duplicates WP, why would I go on it?

It doesn't duplicate WP, there is less censorship on there. I can go on there and not have to worry about some up-their-own-arse mod telling me to stop being naughty or whatever. As to whether it's any good, that's all about opinion. You might not like it, but plenty of people have said they do.

I could try it i suppose when I have the time to make an account.

Cool. You can get pwned on there as well.

Many times it seemed to be used in a sexual manner, which is why I was confused. I was expecting something a little more eloquent. All it is is a bunch of lazy <bleeps> not spell checking and now we have another ridiculous slang term. Webster is rolling in his grave.

A. No regular user has expressed displeasure of the posts.

B. No forum post is solicited. You don't see forum owners going around and requesting their users to post stuff.

C. This hasn't been en-masse, and there would be no way to do so, the mechanics of the forum don't allow en-masse forum posts, with the exception of multiple sock puppet accounts posting annoying crap in allcaps.

And, strictly speaking, the traditional definition which I posted previously, is the only valid one. Every junior high and middle school student is taught this.

Actually, the definition of electronic SPAM is, and I quote: the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages. It can be, as TDM has done before, be used as a kind of denial-of-service attack.

that quote has no attribution, thus my (attributed) definition stands

Wikipedia. If you want, I'll look for a hardcopy definition.

By your definition telemarketing is spam, yet people still refer to it as telemarketing. One thus must conclude that spam is defined by its medium, and that medium is email. Because advertisments took on a form similar to that found in spam through im's,newsgroups, forums, etc, people bagan calling it spam, but just because people have applied the term incorrectly doesn't mean the meaning of the term has changed.
