Why does it matter if we posted one liners in spam topics? I could understand if it was somn serious, or the SCP topic, but these are SPAM topics.

Because I don't like reading 30 posts that are all like "Well, that's nice" in topics that shouldn't even have existed in the first place.
"That's nice" is not a response. "That's nice" does not forward a discussion. "That's nice" is an expression invented to feign interest in a topic while filling what would otherwise be an awkward silence in the middle of a conversation.
Topics die because people lost interest in them or didn't want them in the first place. You don't feign interest in something that everyone admits to being uninterested in. There is no void to fill when the end of a conversation has already come about.
Point DL.

A) Which of those just said "that's nice"? How many of those did you actually read?
B) When a conversation dies, it doesn't mean that it can't be brought back up. We've done that at least twice with the Zombie topic in the Help/B section.
C) I'm not just posting and letting them die. I won't sit here and double, triple, or quadruple post like that. But if they receive a reply, I intend to reply. Not just be like "Oh! One minute revival! LULZ!!" Also, I didn't just blurt out random nonsense, like randomly shouting "Ulp! Um..... OHMYGOSH CHEESE!!!!!" in any of those topics.
There's a bit more to being a SpamBot other than just posting random crap in a million different topics.

A) Which of those just said "that's nice"? How many of those did you actually read? I read about 5 of the actual posts, started scanning through the 30 mosts recent posts list, then gave up and marked them all as read. Contrary to popular belief, I do actually try to make sure some moderation is done. I'm just very lax about everything most of the time. So how many literally said "that's nice"? None. How many had about as much merit as saying "that's nice"? Just about all of them. Difference 1: Help section can use all the activity it can get. Difference 2: 25 different topics were not revived all at once. Any non-sticked srs topic is now deep in the second page. Difference 3: The topic was revived because more information was being added to it. Ahem. I remember one other thing that happened.... I'm not sure that I should say it though.... o.o I think Little Cans Of Spam was a good topic. I wish I could remember the code for changing font size and making it big so I could be awesome like Photu is in the post above mine. This topic doesn't look very happy to me... The guv'ment want you to think on how cope and hope rhyme. <image containing the same content as the OP, just at a slightly different angle> I'm curious about what's in that cooler... Right...

"Ch00bs carried on counting quietly. This is about the most aggressive thing you can do to a Spambot, the equivalent of going up to a human being and saying Blood...blood...blood...blood..."

I noticed that the location wasn't given. Plenty of those posts were at least somewhat on topic. Worthwhile? Not exactly. Aside from bumping the topic many didn't contribute much to them.
Also, again, plenty of those were spam topics. And as to serious topics, the only one that was really touched within recent times was the SCP topic. And even still, that hadn't received a post since over a week.
The "Little Cans of Spam" being a good topic was also in the topic "A good topic".
If those spam topics REALLY bother you, then I can move them to the Scrap Heap, where they can be posted in without any worries about ousting serious topics.
And as to posting in those spam topics, the ones that used the word "happy" were within the two gay topics. In fact, they were in regards to things within the topics. As to the "I wonder what's in the cooler" Lee replied in that topic with an article from the SCP site.
And as to the "Help" section needing all the activity it can get, General needed it too. In the past, members have gone and created Spam topics and posted within them. In fact, even staff members have done this. A couple of times it was when activity wasn't even that slow.
The Help/Advice doesn't need THIS kind of activity. It's where people go to get help when they need it. Now whilst some topics (such as yours) appear that are often done in jest, it doesn't need that kind of activity to appear frequently. The General forum is exactly that, general. It incorporates a little bit of many parts of the boards, though it doesn't really specialize in anything. Thus, the area is actually somewhat open to Spam, where-as the Help/Advice section is rather closed. I would say that the RP section is even more-so out of bounds.

Actually, if you click the date and time on those quotes, it'll take you to the respective topic.
The point that I was trying to illustrate, however, was that, as you yourself said, the posts were not worthwhile. None of them made me chuckle. If I had found any of them witty or something, I would probably not have a problem.

archipelagoexodus.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=members&view=topWell, looks like Blood has a shot at overtaking Photu in post counts before the middle of next year. Or something like that. Though, to be fair, by the end of Ishkabibble, Photu will have outposted Loogs. I must admit, I'm surprised by Shadow's post count. I thought he'd be substantially higher.

Ch00bs are you actually saying you're shocked by blood's ability to spam like a needy 12 year old girl that's just lost the "love of her life" and therefore requires attention on the internet?
Is it actually news to people that 95% of bloods posts are crap, and the other 5% are justifying his reasons behind posting crap?
I guess my general intolerance of e-cunts is premeditated but definitely justified.

Oh, no I'm not shocked. I'm just vocalizing my complaints.
I'm pretty sure I've been backing you up since you started vocalizing (and if I haven't, I was probably doing it in my head), but since you were absent, I decided someone needed to step up.

I must admit, I'm surprised by Shadow's post count. I thought he'd be substantially higher. I wish I could have gotten on to post more and be more active, but... Life is life. Still... I try to get on when I can. W/e. I gave up on trying to make promises here since my life is as unpredictable as my mom's PMS (which at times seems to happen rarer than monthly while at other times more than daily), so... Yeah... I'll still try to be around though... Actually I just read some of the posts in those topics. I fully support letting them die. (the topics, not the posters ;D) Actually, I can't help but agree about some of the topics. Partially from the reason that they're nothing more than spam collectors now, and partially for the reason that sometimes I don't get on here since I know that I'll end up posting in a shit-ton of different topics and wasting a ton of time that I don't have a lot to spare of.

I'd re-lock this, but it looks like the shoutbox is only halfway working.

Same here. I'm curious about wot this Google Wave witchery may be.
Also, I finished a private project with Mr. Hatu, so expect to see more writing from me on the boards again. At least, tonight, and Sunday. Friday's Friday, and Saturday I have company. But still... Gotta aim for at least three posts tonight.

YOU HAVE NAKED HANDS.
Also, my Fallfish post was surprisingly meaty. Huh. I was thinking it'd only be light writing, but Dace went babbling.
Also, finally starting a post for Entertain. It should be up in thirteen, fourteen hours at the latest, bar calamity.
EDIT: POSTED. Next topics in line: Urakuni, Train Ride, Shrinking, though not tonight.
