If you weren't a member of that place they're supposed to have merged with, then it must be some sort of guerrilla advertisement tactic. :idunno:

Does that mean it's a site run by monkeys?

Monkeys generally tend to be more mature and less annoying.

I read it's probably connected to some idiot admin who stole emails from PTP some time ago.

anyway I just signed up at theumbrellacorporation.me, and see that they link to radio.revolutiontt.net interesting :unsure:

So the spam email worked then :frusty:

yeah curiosity got the best of me...but I won't be going back to that site again, there is nothing to download anyway.

Hopefully you haven't used the same p/w there you use on other sites?

No siree! that would be an idiotic thing to do in this day and age.

TheUmbrellaCorporation?..It sounds like something from a seedy 1960's TV series, like The Man from U.N.C.L.E :D
