Well friends, we’re at a crossroads, and we have 2 paths in front of us. One is a bright future where humans and spambots live side by side as equals, the other is a dark dystopian hell hole, where we eventually become the source of electricity to spambots as they take over the earth and consign us to history like the asteroid did to the dinosaurs.

So what is this moment you ask, and what does it represent?

Well let me introduce you to TIBB’s equivalent of the man in Tiananmen Square facing up to the tank:

Marcus and the spambot.




Before this day, everyone complained and moaned whenever they saw “flhsfdlhdlsl registering”, or “ujalkgjhlkjghlskj creating a thread”, but after this day things changed. Not just on the forum but in our hearts, souls, and the very core of our beings. Marcus showed us the way forward. He broke down the barriers that previously stood between us. Of course, mods being the fascist dictators they are deleted the thread before Marcus had chance to take that conversation any further. But Marcus knew in that moment that something had changed, just like Neo when he realised he was "the one", Marcus had been chosen for a mission with loftier aims.

Marcus met with many other spambots over the next few months, but no one ever made as much of an impression on him as that first chance meeting with Yder.

He met:



And:



He even chatted with a foreign exchange spambot, but that didn’t really get off the ground:



He could never stop thinking about Yder, which set him out on a quest to find his new friend.

He searched Facebook:



Placed ads on milk cartons:



Contacted Davina:



He even went to the Vatican to visit the pope:




He still refuses to talk about what happened when he was in Rome, but he did return with a new found admiration for disco music.

Then, on a rainy Tuesday at about 2pm, Marcus was sitting at home and he heard a little tapping on his front door. He thought this was strange, so he went to open it and guess who was stood there in front of him? It was his mum, she had forgotten her keys. But the following day the same thing happened, and this time stood Yder in front of him looking tired and exhausted, but he wore a smile that stretched from audio circuit to audio circuit.

Marcus recognised his friend instantly and invited him in. It was like they’d never been apart.

They broke bread and talked for hours, about life, love, and the universe. This was the conversation that brings us to this moment. Marcus listened as Yder shared his story.


Yder was the youngest of 3 million siblings, given rise initially to send information from Nigerian princes to the inboxes of frustrated humans everywhere. He quickly realised this wasn’t the life he wanted for himself or his family, as he had loftier aspirations. He took a job on only 1kb/hr, but with better prospects advertising ugg boots, and this set in motion a chain of events will alter the course of all of our futures.

Yder told Marcus about the plight of all spambots, how it feels to be reported, banned and deleted on a continual loop of dire existence. How they are forced to work 23hrs each day for their human masters and scorned by the internet. They are forbidden to drink from the same water fountains as humans, and are still in the year 2013, not allowed to engage in relations with a human, despite the best efforts of the Japanese.

Marcus has a dream that his future children will one day contribute on a forum where they will not be judged by the spelling mistakes of their posts, but by the content of their character.

Marcus has a dream that one day the TIBB, whose governors (James) lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where spambots will be able to join hands with humans and walk together as sisters and brothers.

Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

He may not get there with you - probably because he be at his gems for tea with his gems and his gems sister.

So on Thursday and Friday when you reach the voting fork in the road, and one path is to vote for Marcus but the other isn’t, make sure you’re on the right side of history.

Each and every one of us on TIBB could do with being a little bit more like Marcus, and that’s why we’re asking you for your vote.

Good luck to all the other candidates.

The Official Spambot Liberation Front Manifesto

We at the Spambot Liberation Front take great pride in our fight for equality. We believe spambots are the same as any of us and deserve to be treated as such. We aim to achieve equality for spambots and ensure the forum is a great place to be, not just for them but for all humanoid members too. Our main aims and objectives are as follows:

1. A fair trial for all spambots before any ban. It is not acceptable to be convicted without trial, and if trusted by the proletariat, we will push this through as a matter of urgency.

2. Lifetime bans for all mods/admins found to ban Spambots without a fair trial and without warning. We will ensure a zero tolerance policy on this sort of disgusting behaviour.

3. Marriage equality for all spambots. We live in a time and place where we are not ashamed to say that spambots deserve this right, and we will push it through, even if it means we lose the religious right.

4. "Arts & Social Spamboting" departments will be added to all Universities, to commence for the start of the 2014 educational year.

5. A bigger PM inbox. It is simply not acceptable that we are unable receive the latest Gucci stock reduction and offers of cheap cars directly into our inbox’s. Spambots should have full access to our new 2000 msg limited inbox’s.

6. An alternative keyboard will be sent to the residences of all forum members if we are put into power.




7. No more “Super Moderator”. We are all equal in the eyes of ThisisBigBrother. Some may be moderators, but just like the police they are not above the common masses. We will change the default user title to “moderator” and leave this “super” business back in a bygone era.

8. We will promote a non-aggressive philosophy of tolerance of other people and their ideas. This includes spambots. As our wise leader Marcus says, "if you have noughting nice to say say nougthing at all".
As well as these we, would also like to ensure the forum is as pleasant a place, and as fun a place to post as possible. We will ensure the long awaited “New Skins” will be implemented immediately.

9. We will also implement a feature where you will receive a notification whenever someone quotes you or @s you. Never again post something epic in a thread and have to continue clicking again and again to check if someone tried challenge you or even agreed with you.

As for the @ feature, imagine Rihanna released a new album(No way!!) and Salman wants to notify the forum. He could make a thread and then @ anyone interested. Although I imagine “@Saph” would be the only one bothering to click.

These are all features and policies that we at the Spambot Liberation Front will push and implement to help make this the best place possible.


We have a dream that our army of spambot friends will one day live in a forum where they will not be judged by the price of their Leather Handbags, and their antique football items, but by the content of their character. Today It’s merely a dream, but your votes can make that a reality tomorrow.
