Original Content:

you know what's weird

there are viruses out there

trojans, more accurately

that are still spreading through emails and stuff

hijacking people's email accounts to spread themselves

putting themselves in people's computers to send data from their cookies to information-gathering websites that no longer exist!

they are without purpose

spreading, growing, using resources

but their creator has abandoned them

they simply exist now

continuing to do what they were programmed

ghosts of some great internet scam that died

echoes of a spammer's dream

Mojo_Jojo

Good, but really you need some context as to why he did this.

Tube

because he's weird

MKR

Because he's Pony.

Caulk Bite 6

Because he was high on legal opiates.

Kagnaros

Damn...wow.

5/5

Scrublet

I thought that was an awesome post, even without any context whatsoever.

Aldo

That's pretty cool, really. 4 stars!

Kreutz

I don't usually go for stoner's logic like this, but this one was actually pretty insightful.

Scooter

It's a good point, though. If we're still using the same form of internet 50 years from now, there will still be 50 year-old bugs floating around, somewhere.

Shit, there will probably be bug hunters like those butterfly net guys, who go looking for ancient bugs to put in their collection.

Kreutz

Nobody link xkcd.

Caulk Bite 6

if only because it was already done in the SE thread.

Actually, in this post, Pony's normal style of writing may have added something to what he was saying.

RandomEngy

Yeah Pony always posts like that so it takes something away. Straight up it would be pretty awesome.
