Once upon a time there was a beautiful place called Spamutopia. (Cut me some slack-this is a fairytale after all)  The people of Spamutopia led carefree lives doing only one thing, spamming each other from sun up till sun down.  Families didn't share news in their emails they all shared another link, another biz-op or another scam e-mail.

Eventually the people of Spamutopia realized that spamming each other did no good so they set off to find new lands where they could send their spam messages to new people.Some of these new lands welcomed the Spamutopians and even began learning how to Spam from them.  They started calling the Spamutopians 'Gooroos'.  They followed the ways of the Spamutopians and became Spamutopians themselves!

One day the Spamutopians found a little place called APSenseland.  They thought to themselves "What a beautiful land!  We'll teach them how to spam too!"  Unfortunately the Spamutopians didn't know that living In Apsenseland were the Anti-spammers, mortal enemies of Spamutopia.

They soon found out that the Anti-spammers' favorite sport was hunting Spamutopians.  The Anti-spammers had powerful weapons like the delete button and the report abuse button!  The Anti-Spammers even talked to each other and knew each other.  When they found a Spamutopian, they let all the other Anti-spammers know so they could use their report abuse buttons too!

The Anti-spammers made life miserable for the Spamutopians.  They still make life miserable for them.  The Anti-spammers look for spam and report all the spam that they see.  The Spamutopians  learned that the people in APSenseland don't like spam, so they try to hide it now.  They make comments that don't have anything to do with the post.  They post pure gibberish.  They post advertising without a link as comments.  They even plagiarize the original post or other people's comments, but the Anti-Spammers are wise to these tricks.

Many Spamutopians go back to Spamutopian or some of the other lands where they are welcomed.  Those who remain in APSenseland must renounce all ties to Spamutopia, Some even become....Anti-spammers!

An Update for all the Spamutopian out there! Bye Bye! your spam posts will no longer fly here on APSense!
