Looks like Shakespeare has a bit of a technical fault at the moment......?

Looks like a really bad script somewhere....

Hope it don't crash the fforum.

Edited to say I am kinda weirded out!

Edited again - wonder why all the threads he started have done the name change to gibberish?

At least, who posts to these threads could maybe set the Subject: line back to the original. This does not help for the overview page, but when looking at a post, you get an idea what topic we are supposed to digress from...

I'd assumed it was someone being sic all over the fforum and just not cleaning it up. Maybe we should lend the bard a mop and bucket?

On second thoughts, perhaps it's just a case of a mispelling supavyrus the fforum's caught?

I thought that when everyone got completely bored with it Shakey could put it forward for the Turner Prize.

Perhaps I am wrong.

But is it really Shakespeare who is doing this ?

Or perhaps some descendent of one of those other persons reputed to have written all of Shakespeare's works?

My guess would be a bot got hold of password and login. Although why "sic" I have no idea. Has anyone checked the timing of them?

A thousand monkeys banging away on keyboards will not reproduce shakespeare. The internet proves that.

Either he got hacked or pulled a stunt like an ex-boardellan did-
I'm going with hacked, since at least the unnamed former fruitbat replaced all his posts with "MADE TO FEEL UNWELCOME" in tiny type...

Spambots make me sic!
