Look who’s visiting…bunch o’ new members!

Nice to see some new blood, although most of them seem to have really strange and similar screen names.
Seriously… can spamming or link-bombing this site actually be worthwhile?

I thought the same thing. Still haven't figured out what they are selling though but I'm sure that will be revealed sooner or later.
david,
I've been here since 1998.

about you... it's those others...
It has to do with how Google, et al, work. They rate a site higher if it's linked to from other related sites. So linking to http://www.chinesedrywall.com from here increases the "rating" of that site and makes it more likely to appear higher in a Google (or whatever other search engine) search.
And since Taunton has worked a deal to send posts directly to Google to be indexed, vs waiting for Google to "crawl" them, even if a link is only posted for 5 minutes before being pulled it still improves that site's rating.
