"Really, if history049 wasn't the greatest spammer, he at least was the earliest one. At the time, they didn't even counteract the stuff.
In fact, we didn't even had a word for it, we all just said "godammit 049, write posts longer than one line!". (those were the early days remember, 1 character-posts were unheard of)"
"Maybe we should we ask Firaxis to junk this civilisation rubbish and create a game about bacterias instead?"
"We didn't had to worry about global warming an nuclear proliferation during the medieval ages and similarily we didn't had to worry about spam when there were branching boards."
"We want people to lose perspective, it keeps them at Apolyton."

"All that we are is the result of all that we have thought. It is founded on thought. It is based on thought." - Buddha
"In our maturer years, when an object of vision is presented to us which bears any similitude to the form of the female bosom ... we feel a general glow of delight which seems to influence all of our senses..." - Charles Darwin - proving that even the greatest male minds can really only think about one thing 
"The majority of Terrans were six-legged. They had territorial squabbles and politics and wars and a caste system. They also had sufficient intelligence to survive on that barren boondocks planet for several billions of years.
We are not concerned here with the majority of Terrans. We are concerned with a tiny minority - the domesticated primates who built cities and wrote symphonies and invented things like tic-tac-toe (naughts and crosses for the Brits - Spekter) and integral calculus. At the time of our story, these primates regarded themselves as <I>the</I> Terrans. The six-legged majority and other life forms on that planet hardly entered into their thinking at all, most of the time." - Robert Anton Wilson 
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, design a building, conn a ship, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, co-operate, act alone, solve an equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert A. Heinlein
"As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys." - William Blake
"Man is ignorant of the nature of his own being and powers, even his idea of his limitations is based on experience of the past. There is therefore no reason to assign theoretical limits to what he may be, or what he may do." - Aleister Crowley

Forgive the OT-centric view of these quotes, but I hope you like them.
Apolyton = protesting against your post counts reduction over and over again for no other reason but recuperating your loss
Apolyton = having a fondness for debating gargantuan nonsense as if it were a dead serious matter
Apolyton = going to ACOL when the server is down
US essence of a coffee shop = coffee
Dutch essence of a coffee shop = cannabis
Apolyton essence of a coffee shop = spam
Apolyton = 1.you arrive 2.you lurk 3.you inhabit 4.you leave 5.you lurk 6.you inhabit
Apolyton = dictatorship of the M-family + DanQ
Apolyton = MarkG, DanQ and 9,998 double logins
Apolyton = Off-Topic forum + some civalissaton stuff
[EDIT] ok these aren't real quotes, I was supposed to post them in the t-shirt slogans thread. (I'm a bit tired right now, you see)
