[Madman_V3N0M]

Wellcome to "Spam School", also known as "Classical Spamming Methods" or "How To Spam" or "S. P. A. M.(Senseless/Stupid Posts And Messages)"please feel free to name it anything you want.
Here we will learn how to spam eficiantly and with ease, hopefully we'll have celebrety guests such as Justice or FCY join us and share the secrets of spam.
If you don't know what spam is go here: spam
Now let's get started,
1. Spam everywhere - in messangers and e-mails where you can send messages to everyone at once using classical "Send forward or else smthng bad will happen" to potentially spread your spam all over the world(P.S. never forward spam like this)
- in real life by screaming words like "Cheese!" on the street or from your window
- and last but not least on forums, the battlefield of spammers,
There are other spamming mediums but we will focuss on the latter.
2. Never edit, if you made a mistake in a previous post it's an ocasion to fix it in a new post or appologise for the mistake(P.S. make mistakes oftain but not enough 4 mods to catch you), and watch your postcount go up
3. Post on more forums at once(Mr. Oakwarrior will expand on this)
4. Try to start a conversation, and then ask a lot of questions, this is an incospicous way to increase postcount AND make friends with/draw information from people
5. Join the crowd, if you see a bunch of people spamming, join them... they can't bann you all can they?
6. Find spammy or spam-proned threads, these can be usually found in forums with names that contain "General Discution", "Off Topic", "Camp Fire", "Tavern"etc.
7. Join a cult, preferably of a mod, a great way to make good with mods so they won't bann you and another reason to spamm(cuzz they can't bann you if you're talking about them, as gods no less)
The last two are by far the most fun and recomended spamming methods.

I awayt your comments and additions and sugestions.
Spam well! May the spam be with you! Go forth and spam!

Background:
As the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars and the Irish republic withdraw from the union. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to wrangling over the peace process.

Economy United Kingdom Top of Page
Economy - overview:
The UK, a leading trading power and financial center, is one of the quintet of trillion dollar economies of Western Europe. Over the past two decades, the government has greatly reduced public ownership and contained the growth of social welfare programs. Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European standards, producing about 60% of food needs with less than 2% of the labor force. The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil reserves; primary energy production accounts for 10% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any industrial nation. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account by far for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to decline in importance. GDP growth slipped in 2001-03 as the global downturn, the high value of the pound, and the bursting of the "new economy" bubble hurt manufacturing and exports. Output recovered in 2004, to 3.2% growth, but fell in 2005, to 1.7%. Despite slower growth, the economy is one of the strongest in Europe; inflation, interest rates, and unemployment remain low. The relatively good economic performance has complicated the BLAIR government's efforts to make a case for Britain to join the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Critics point out that the economy is doing well outside of EMU, and public opinion polls show a majority of Britons are opposed to the euro. Meantime, the government has been speeding up the improvement of education, transport, and health services, at a cost in higher taxes and a widening public deficit.

Finnik folk song;

Ievan Polkaa / Ieva's polka

Original version;
Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti
jalakani pohjii kutkutti.
Ievan äiti se tyttöösä vahti
vaan kyllähän Ieva sen jutkutti,
sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa
kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.

Ievan suu oli vehnäsellä
ko immeiset onnee toevotti.
Peä oli märkänä jokaisella
ja viulu se vinku ja voevotti.
Ei tätä poikoo märkyys haittaa
sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput.

Ievan äiti se kammarissa
virsiä veisata huijjuutti,
kun tämä poika naapurissa
ämmän tyttöä nuijjuutti.
Eikä tätä poikoo ämmät haittaa
sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
Salivili.

Siellä oli lystiä soiton jäläkeen
sain minä kerran sytkyyttee.
Kottiin ko mäntii ni ämmä se riitelj
ja Ieva jo alako nyyhkyytteek.
Minä sanon Ievalle mitäpä se haittaa
laskemma vielähi laiasta laitaa.
Salivili.

Muorille sanon jotta tukkee suusi
en ruppee sun terveyttäs takkoomaa.
Terveenä peäset ku korjoot luusi
ja määt siitä murjuus makkoomaa.
Ei tätä poikoo hellyys haittaa
ko akkoja huhkii laiasta laitaan.
Salivili.

Sen minä sanon jotta purra pittää
ei mua niin voan nielasta.
Suat männä ite vaikka lännestä ittään
vaan minä en luovu Ievasta,
sillä ei tätä poikoo kainous haittaa
sillon ko tanssii laiasta laitaan.
Salivili.

English version;

The sound of a polka drifted from my neighborâ´s
and set my feet a-tapping oh!
Ievaâ´s mother had her eye on her daughter but
Ieva she managed to fool her, you know.
â´Cause whoâ´s going to listen to mother saying no
when weâ´re all busy dancing to and fro!

Ieva was smiling, the fiddle it was wailing
as people crowded round to wish her luck.
Everyone was hot but it didnâ´t seem to bother
the handsome young man, the dashing buck.
â´Cause whoâ´s going to mind a drop of sweat
when heâ´s all busy dancing to and fro!

Ievaâ´s mother she shut herself away
in her own quiet room to hum a hymn.
Leaving our hero to have a spot of fun
in a neighborâ´s house when the lights are dim.
â´Cause what does it matter what the old folks say
when youâ´re all busy dancing to and fro!

When the music stopped then the real fun began
and thatâ´s when the laddie fooled around.
When he took her home, when the dancing was over
her mother angrily waiting they found.
But I said to her, Ieva, now donâ´t you weep
and weâ´ll soon be dancing to and fro!

I said to her mother now stop that noise
or I wonâ´t be responsible for what I do.
If you go quietly and stay in your room
you wonâ´t get hurt while your daughter I woo.
â´Cause this fine laddie is a wild sort of guy
when heâ´s all busy dancing to and fro!

One thing I tell you is you wonâ´t trap me,
no, you wonâ´t find me an easy catch.
Travel to the east and travel to the west but
Ieva and I are going to make a match.
â´Cause this fine laddie ainâ´t the bashful sort
when heâ´s all busy dancing to and fro.
