Any dodgy coders out there?

I know bugger all about the code that goes into writing a bot, but I'm intrigued as to what criteria they use when deciding what threads to bump. I can't see any connection between them at all.

I think it's manual.

could it be that the bot is actually some disenfranchised scum-fuck
with hell-else to do
but jack with lit?

the cake recipe bit is kinda like lj bombing without the hot nudes

i suspect the dead thread choices are haphazard meanderings of an infected mind

why a bot?
probably just a simple bottom.

could be a rather conspicuous
re-emergence
to get to the vaunted 100

There are easier ways of doing that than thread archaeology.

yeah...
but tweaking noses and picking scabs
might prove more...?

interesting?

to a pointed re-emerger...?

not everyone around here is civil.

when in doubt, blame magee.

That would be it. You don'need a system for such stuff. Just pick a feature like the poster, length of thread, topic or pretty well anything and off you go.

The bumped threads slowly disappear off the bottom of the page like toilet paper down a water closet.

Good Metaphor. That's because everyone can see its bumped, like 3 pages of posts just appear?

Years ago when Lit. was new someone here had BOT technology and used it to Troll a Troll.

I don't remember who it was.

They did not share.

Something like taking a leak in a public park and not getting arrested.
