Planet IF looks like my mailbox

Unfortunately, when I open my mailbox, I often have to wade through the spam. Popular right now are acai berry solutions to obesity, fake expensive watches, and, of course, large reproductive organs. In that latter category, I would like to nominate "Be like King Kong with an enormous dong" for trying to be original, and "You need a big tool to penetrate a woman's heart" for trying too hard.

Anyway, I am reminded of my mailbox when I open Planet IF, otherwise a good website, and a website where this post will in fact show up. Planet IF now looks like this:

• Casebook Episode 0, a 250 MB free "demo" of the Casebook FMV/Hidden Object game series: http://areo.areograph.com/node/28
• "Adventure Quest", a play based on 80s games such as King's Quest opens in June in Brooklyn, NY: http://is.gd/AdXK
• Strong Bad and Sam & Max seasons 50% off on Steam until May 18: http://store.steampowered.com/news/2501/
• Get any one episode of any one Telltale game for $5 using this code: 3XD-EYS-MRW-4JV

That looks a lot like my mailbox. All of it is unsolicited advertising for commercial products, and, guess what, none of it has anything to do with interactive fiction. Even more strangely, the messages are just this--there is not other text. If you click on the links, you just get to see the title again, but in a very large font.

So please, brasslantern, whoever you are: stop spamming us with these contentless, non-IF-related posts? And maybe just post something to your blog if you have more than one sentence to write?


P.S. They even go as far as to use redirecting hyperlinks, so you can't see to what website they actually link?
