What is the point of spamming?

knewk: As hypocritical as it may seem, I've always wondered this. What is the point of just wasting server space and people's time like this?

My guess is that the person who's doing it finds it entertaining, ruining another persons day.

They have nothing better to do, they have no life.

They live very boring lives, and the best thing to make things more interesting is to bother people they do not know from miles away on the internet. I think of it as this decades version of prank phone calls... It is annoying but eventually they may grow out of it.

Hah, yeah. People just do it out of sheer boredom, hoping to make their day just that much more interesting by making messes that they really don't feel any repercussions from.

i think its a scheme by whomever owns companys that own antivirus software. who ever it is is smart. and greedy. just like the cable company has a deal with all tv manufacturers so that you cant just plug your tv in the wall and watch a basic network, you have to get cable to see anything. they both make money that way.
