    Well, that's the last we should be hearing from Lucy man. She's probably stuffing herself down the incinerator about now. You know what we need? We need some opium.

    TheSwarm is a movie tracker. It got its own article on FSF last year.

    A friend of mine also got this e-mail. It'd look like they're spamming people with invites.

    I got one on the 24th

    The user jerrcs has invited you to join TheSwarm, and has specified this address xxxxx as your email address. If you do not know this person, please ignore this email, and do not reply.
    I didn't so I did.

    Anyway besides the fact no one wants to invite me anywhere, I figure anyone that did want to invite me would make me aware that they did.
    Btw anyone know jerrcs tell him to fuck off for me please.

    Assuming they aren't using fake names for publicity, keep in mind that these are the people that ran PTP into the ground. pham had the big donation scandal among other things, and if I recall correctly it was due to jerrcs that the root passwords were leaked and their databases were compromised. So yeah... tread lightly.
