Not a guy, but a spambot.

Most of us just ignore any threads labeled CHEAP NIKE DUNK...BASKETBALL SHOES....or anything which does not look like it belongs in the WITP forum..Spambots get into a members CPU unknowingly, and then attaches to any site that user visits. The thing is a parasite.
I usually run spybot( not the culprit, but a detector) once every day or so to find and root them out before I go "visiting".

The mods should go through and delete the spam topics.

Just give them some time.
