Hoping Dopers will click that link so you can get a pittance of XP or whatever? Don’t think you’ll get many bites around here.

More to the point, no sign that OP responded to the Great Password Change of (early) '14.

Any bets on whether that account’s been spam-zombied?

I’m surprised this thread has been allowed to continue existence. Maybe it’s actually supposed to be labeled “Free [GAME]” and we’re supposed to post, um, something.

I’m going to close this.

Don’t spam, JRG.

Not banning only because it appears the poster has contributed in the past, so…I’m not sure what to think, but if you spam any more, you may be banned as a spammer or as an account that has been compromised.
