    That he is. Himself and Gordon have a price on their head in sweaty internet cafes in places we've never even heard of.

    I used to cry myself to sleep every night wondering what sitw meant, and now i finally know.... Ruu seems to be a good bullshít detector alright - there's something about that lad... :P

    Indeed spam in the works is correct, there are tell tale signs, usually the only people with sitw as a bantag are bots.

    Hopefully the bounty on me is higher than Ruus :)

    Would "Spammer in the works" not sound better lads? More of a play on words on "spanner in the works". :)

    I think that's what it started out as when we first started looking for dormant spambot accounts, but it's morphed into the acronym sitw now. I think Gordon got lazy, or else got a Business degree.

    Can't remember if I coined it but it was shortened as I couldn't be arsed typing that all out every time.

    A while back Ruu was chasing my heels on the banlist so I started looking for old spambots with zero posts linked to spambots with posts. Unfortunately my searches uncovered a crapload of old accounts and I spent ages pruning them all. I had time on my hands then..
