OK, quick poll, to gauge the potential for participation. For those younger than, what, 3-years, on here, I occasionally ran a game on here I called "SPAM-Jumpers." It made finding SPAM kinda fun, actually! There were prizes (although the last game died on the vine for lack of participation), and lots of chances to poke fun at spammers. Do a thread search if you wanna see what it was about, rules @ scoring, and such.
Anyway, if the yeas outweigh the nays, I'll run it, again.
Voice your vote!

Yep! Themz them. I'll hafta updaate them, of course (thanlks for saving me the search, BTW), because Karl, Cheng & Craig haven't been hangin' round, much, lately (at least, not in OT). Guess I'll hafta be judge, jury & executioner.
Prizez'rr gonna come from my Zazzle shop (the link, in my siggy). Mug, T-Shirt & keychain (or, maybe a bumper sticker). If we get MORE players I'll up the prize quotient. Poll runs into October, but I'll prolly cut it short if it looks like a runaway vote. When the poll ends the GAME WILL BEGIN!!!

where do duck did you come from, you were here before i was.
And Jazz, I'd say IDK, because i'm not sure if AF is active enough right now to hold a good spam jumpers game. I know I'm sure not on here as much as I used to be.
