    How did you find out? And what's the point of it? It's funny though.

    It's true. This is a spammer. Google his line and you will find from the first 4 pages that he subscribed to at least 24 forums with the same line.
    Please don't respond to his post.

      This one seems to be quite common recently. The motive I'm guessing is to promote icq - the link in the profile. Generally, be suspicious of any first posts on a forum that give scant details, generic information or ask off-topic seemingly random questions. There is usually a link hidden somewhere in the post, sometimes in the smiley http//free-minds.org/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif

                    I thought "finally, someone who understands me. To make my life worth living". But the whole time you were betraying me. I can never trust anyone else again. You left a scar in my heart that can never mend. I hope you are happy, Adam (if that is your real name) '(

                        American Native meaning a "Native American Orgin"?
                        If so, than no. I am not a Sioux, Cherokee, or Nez Perce.

                        If you mean, Am I from (Born) in America...Then Yes.

                                  How did you learn that from his post?

                                  If you answer his message by quoting it you will see that the link is embedded inside the smiley code. I just replaced the site's address with mine.

                                          it's just linking an image to a url

                                          In bb code to insert an image on the forum you use

                                          where # is the url of your image. To find the url of an image just right-click it and copy the url.

                                          To insert a link on the forum, in bb code you use

                                          Where # is the url of the page you want to link to and * is what you want to link.

                                          So you combine the two and use

                                          url of image you want to link

                                          Sometimes the spammers will use a smiley to link to the page not in the hope that someone will click it but because the search engines crawl the site and notice a topic is being talked about (whatever the spammer is spamming) and that there is a link. The search engines will then associate the link with whatever words are used around it. The spammer does this on enough forums in the hopes that his or her site will be listed higher in the search engine results because one way a search engine decides where a site is listed when a certain word is searched for is how many links on the internet point to that site. This technique is probably counter productive (though it once might have been succesful) as smart search engines change their algorithm all the time to adjust for people trying to game the system in ways like this and de-list sites they think are being spammed.
