Who or What is Rgergerger?

Posted by Frederic On December - 4 - 2006

Rgergerger‘ has been in the Technorati Top 10 searches for a few days - yet all the post are either Technorati-bait, or in an Asian script I can’t read. Anybody have an idea what’s going on? All the posts that Technorati shows have very little authority. Is this spam? Can anybody out there translate these sites and tell us what this is about?

    Hello, i thought i am alone with this specific interest.

    Here it is in the Tagsline

    Hm - that’s strange - that is definitely a legitimate blog, so I wonder if the writer just stuck that tag in there to draw some traffic to his/her blog.

    Also, one thing that puzzles me is that the “regergerger” shows up in the searches, but nobody writes about it. That’s clearly not how things on Technorati usually work.

    Oh well - another mystery waiting to be solved…

    I don’t know what it is either, but some stupid spammer has been abusing the contact form on my site, sending that word in the body of the email. I can’t quite figure out why.

    This spamming bastard has caused me hours apon hours of deleting his automated spam to our guestbook. If I ever have the opportunity to meet this malicious fuck I’m gonn rip his arms off and shove them down his throat.

    This -R thing is more than a spammer, it seams to be a malicious bot. It’s wreaking havoc on data bases. It would be a good thing to stop this. I’m presently looking for ways to stop it.

    The rgergerger bastard comes to my guestbooks almost everyday and leaves messages. I have tried to trace his IP but is different each time so I guess he uses a kind of proxy. Is there no one who can stop him?

  7. Joy says:

    Seems to be a bot that is spamming the heck out of contact forms and guestbook software. Looks like it’s time to go to one of those “please type the letters in this image” scripts to stop them.
