    Automatic buddy list message

    I recently added someone to my buddy list and I have just found out that it sends an automatic message to them. Real creepy assed words too like "If you think I'm harrassing you then you can always set me to ignore...", WTF is all that about?

    Someone's ill attempt at humor.

    I always thought that was a bit tacky, but I just shrugged it off. I think that is an auto message generated by the software. I don't think Andy or Neil would have put that in there.

    DJ hit the nail on the head, its automated.

    *EDIT* - do you think i should disable it or just change the message?

    Change the message and make it more friendly. It's worded a little too psychotic for my liking.

    What's the deal with this thing anyway? I've had a couple of new buddy list additions over the last week and I haven't been sent a message whatsoever. Has this function been removed now?

    I think we should make it even more psychotic and disturbing
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Just get drunk some night and see how many people you can add to your buddy list... like every active member on the VBB forum?


    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
