I got it too, that's what convinced me to vote for Obama.

I hope it was worth it for mr echo.
What a silly boy.

I got the same thing. I checked his profile and he has been banned.

This Ospammer has been removed from our community. Biased, aren't we?

I got one too...

And i'm in the UK!

Pffft...

I was going to vote for Obama, had decided earlier today. But after this invasion of my U2U inbox, I have now become incensed enough to vote McCain.

I bet it was a McCain supporter.

I also got the U2U.

I live in Norway...

Sheesh!
This guy was a busy.

We're getting swarmed with complaints on this. :shk:

So much for the effectiveness of the U2U flood control.
.

Mods, can I ask a question? How was he able to do that? I figured flood control would have stopped him.

Yup...after the scant accusations that we as a site are more inclined to support Obama because of the faux election, it should be noted that this guy's account was terminated despite the fact that he supports Obama

We are a neutral board...as we encourage all sides of the coin (one side, flip side, outside, inside and the various slivers that can be attained by slicing the coin into very thin pieces... )

He mimicked the mass u2u send off, I'm guessing...

Oh yeah, we tell you, then you tell 2 friends, they tell 2 friends and so on and so on and....

I got one too, shame...I already voted, and it wasn't for Obama.
It's really sad that people have so much free time they decide to troll and spam message boards.

Yeah that is strange. Cause I replied to him and then realised I goofed. I meant to say "Besides I am not from your country." But I forgot to put the 'not' in there and didn't realise it until I sent it. So I tried to reply again and it told me I would have to wait due to flood control. LOL
