IM from new members

Has anyone else gotten an IM similar to the following?

"Hello,
I’m new here and just wanted to say “hi”

How’s it going?"

I received this today, not sure why I was chosen as this persons recipient. Seemed kind of odd.

Same here, from Turing??

yup i got this :thinking:

I’ve gotten 4-5…I think it’s cause several people have started their visit on the forums with my journal.

ya i think everybody got one

its nice when people say hi

Yup, that’s who IMd me. Also strange is that he hasn’t posted yet.

Seems like an awful lot of work to just say hi. Did anyone click on his website and have their computer blow up?

I got one, but no way am I clicking on the link.

i got one with some budihist thing

I haven’t gotten one yet.
Maybe it’s only people with less than 10,000 posts.

hmm, not me I feel left out!:frowning:

I didn’t get one either!!
But if there’s a link DON’T CLICK IT!

I don’t know, this could be real and not just some marketing company.

yeah, I got some Budhist website when i clicked on his link, but my computer didn’t blow up.

Perhaps it’s not a person. I think it’s a self-aware computer trying to join the human race.

I got one too…did anyone respond?

Is there a way to send out a mass PM to every member? because I really dont think that a person would go through the effort of writing a PM to most of the people on the forums if their wasn’t

I got one, i responded with a not-so-nice reply.
I figured it was spam.

I got one and responded but no reply so far. It not quite as weird seeing as all of you got one also.
