Because I was silly enough to think that the forums were where I could unwind!

I'm so glad non-players feel so free to surf on in and spam us with their crap.

Just think! There are actually fools in the player base who donate money to keep EfU going as a place where people can have fun. Fools, I say! What they should be doing is spamming us with whatever they want to sell.

I'm so glad the forum administrators can see posters' IPs, because I think they need to learn more about how to start shooting fish in this barrel.

It's just bots, spamming the forums with links so search engine trackers are tricked into putting their customer's site at a higher ranking. They're not trying to sell anything to the people who actually use the forum (mostly), nor will the people behind it ever read this thread.
