I got an awful report.
 
I am giving out my cell phone and home number out shortly to all regulars, who may require it. As this is the best I can do.
 
Read the post first, then  PM me here and email and I'll get the numbers out to you, I can tell more over the phone. E-mail is not acceptable.
 
It would help me if someone could hold my contact info, incase I am away.
 
It is vital.
 
Talk with you soon.
Steve

Didn't someone once theorize this forum was being used as kind of an internet "numbers station?" Yeah, that's starting to make a little more sense...

This is so weird, it's a link to a crazy thread on the OMHW forum, and references being kicked off of this forum, etc.  I initially locked this thread, but Im going to leave it unlocked to see if anyone can figure out what this guy is talking about over there

Is this connected to those crazy ass posts that "blackops" guy has posted a couple times? If Ruska doesn't recognize the guy, what old timers would?

Tallen? Mack?

If any of the OMHW dudes are poking around they might have an idea of what this guy is trying to do?

You guys remember this steve guy. one of my responses to an old thread of his was the only thing he ever responded to. His old posts referred to vague grievances with coworkers attitudes then reynolds wrap stock increased in value from there.

In fact, I was responsible for tying omhw to the forum here for him.

Just talked with the Shortster himself and best as we can figure. It's a program trawling posts and stringing them together, like a bot that is learning. It picked up some names from the OMHW postings and strung them together with some odd bits and pieces of convos over there. So, I think it's probably safe to call it spam and have admins either IP trace and call the feds on some spam/bot issues, or just ban the IP all together to hopefully kill what looks like a bot that can learn if it's linking forums together like this.

Well, this spambot is talking on the other forum about visits to ND.  it posted a picture of a hotel receipt with a customer name that is blacked out, except for "steve" from a ND best western.  It is also posting videos of helicopters on a 4shared account under the name steve.  Pretty elaborate bot.  I think its just some looney.

Again, it's the same steve as before. He was waitingfor a call on his tin foil silver surfer phone about a year ago.

If his old thread can be located I believe he made light of the whole thing at some point.

Something like steve300

My guess the last time was that he was tossing around ideas for a fictional book

If you look at the other omhw threads it's posted in, you can see they're just nonsensical 1-sentence jobs.

Could be some sort of program given the basics, a few pics and vid links, and then sent out to crawl and look for other info to make it sound more and more legit.

Hi tallen702,
 
 How have you been? It's been a while.
If Shorty wants my number, its available as well as any regulars.  
 
No spam bot here. This goes back to when I got the big scare on tippmann back when. There should be a copy
of that. You can say hi to Brain if you like for me, over the next weeks we should consider a group discussion. I'll lead if you like.
 
The most important thing right now, is, if you notice something, don't assume it is nothing. I'll get back to this if you like.
 
Have a beer Tallen.
 
ttyl;
Steve

Have work to do,

Have a good night everyone.

Hi Rofl_Mao, I remember you.
 
Goes back to when I got the scare on the forum.
 
I am not one to hand out my phone number, but that is the best way I believe.
 
I don't want to be posting stuff without a chance to talk with everyone involved.
Steve

I feel like an OMHW member was kidnapped by North Korea and was just released with nothing more than an old laptop to gather information. This is bizarre.

Save me from Skynet.
