I don't think that will catch on.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

While trying to find a particular topic, I came across a bunch of suspect search results:

Are there hidden files on the racketboy forum that should be disposed of?

Well, we here at Racketboy do try to be a one-stop-source for all kinds of information. Ummm...man, I wonder if those are from long ago deleted spam threads or if there is something crazy going on on the servers.

What were you googling for? I started to search for "racketboy josh hutcherson" and wasn't getting those showing as I typed. Nor with "dating racketboy". Also if you do "copy link location" on one of them, is it really pointing to racketboy.com/blehblah?

I hope you don't have some malware screwing with you.

I just searched dating on the google bar and found that stuff it's page five or something but they are 404'd. I thought that was a shopped list actually.

Edit I mean OMG Lilly Collins and Zac Effron. OMG OMG OMG

I'm not weird, look at the addresses in the image from the odd search gtmtnbiker posted. They mostly show show racketboy.com/ssfm/BLAHdating

Your google search shows the actual dating thread here on Racket, which is presumably what was being searched for by gt, and then a bunch of other .com sites with beiber. That isn't the same.

I saw that a while ago -- I've cleaned up the "ssfm" folder and reset server passwords and such -- must have been a spammer getting into the server.

I had done "site:racketboy.com dating" in my google bar. Couldn't find the thread I was looking for.

@racket, glad that you had discovered the spammer and had it cleaned up.
