This is blatant spam that has been going on forever.

The last 30, 40 or even more pages of this topic is pure spam.

There is more than one spammer on this topic, I would say at least 3.

Multiple posts in quick succession keeps a topic in the Most Recent list for a lot longer.

One person posts 3 or 4 quick fire posts in rapid succession, he sometimes mentions bibles or drugs.

Another person keeps responding to him for what I would call sly sideways promotional reasons.

The 3rd guy, I don't know what his story is, seems a bit strange.

If the topic is ALWAYS in the Most Recent list then it will get a lot of hits.

This in turn may result in profile hits...

Quite a few people have complained on this topic.

Deductive

 I'm pretty sure this qualifies as spam even though it is in the off topic forum.
