Angela Brett - if you buy a domain name you can have every conceivable username @ that domain go to you, but spammers might send the same spam to many of the addresses hoping they're for separate people. Computers:Internet Computers:Internet |

Angela Brett, when somebody spammed the Apronyms Forums about a website promising 'instant fame', where the fame was no more than having your name on a website... something you could achieve by posting a message on the forums. I don't recommend spamming the forums, however, please post something constructive instead. Communication:Acronyms Forums Communication:Acronyms Forums |

Angela Brett, when somebody spammed the Apronyms Forums about a website promising 'instant fame', where the fame was no more than having your name on a website. The site appeared to be run by the Yellow Pages, and as I doubt they would resort to forum-spam for advertising, I can only assume the poster was trying to attract people to the site in order to increase his or her own 'fame'. Although, if having your name on a website counts as fame, then the simple act of posting on the forums gave just as much fame as the fame website itself.

Angela Brett, when somebody spammed the Apronyms Forums about a website promising 'instant fame', where the fame was no more than having your name on the website. If having your name on a website counts as fame, then a much better way to get famous is to submit apronyms to this site. (Note that this apronym was added in 2005... but I haven't added many apronyms recently so I won't claim that fictitious title for this year.)

| 100% | WILD YAM | Will I Live Double Years Appearing Mortesque? |
Angela Brett -- the ORGANIC HERB spammer mentioned wild yam as one of it's products, so I assume it's rumoured to be good for something, and extending lifespan is a pretty general aim that most remedies share. 'Mortesque' isn't a word but I'm using it to mean something like 'as if dead.' -- you'd have to be careful with anything promising a long life that you didn't end up living another hundred years looking and feeling like a corpse.
