I'm pretty sure Tinalu is a bot as he/she/it posted the same exact thing on another forum I frequent. _________________ Mao Mao Games

I was very torn between "Kill the spam" and "that's actually useful spam". But I guess we can ask Mattias if we need the links, he seems to know the shops.

I'd have saved the post contents, deleted the user + ban them, and then re-posted the content. But whatever. _________________ Principal Software Architect

My only point was that the content posted by the bot was useful information. _________________ Principal Software Architect

Keeping the information only spreads their capitalistic ideals. ^o^ ...And I guess it promotes more spam. _________________ Mao Mao Games

No - it was actually (to me) germane to what we're doing - low-priced indie 3D graphics from multiple vendors. I thought it was just someone trying to be helpful. _________________ Tales of the Rampant Coyote - Old-School Game Developer talks Indie Games, RPGs, and the Games Biz

Again, that's hardly the point. If you're looking for something, anything, is it a good idea to get it from a passing spambot? _________________ http://www.distractionware.com

Not saying that - just saying I'm very naive and it totally had me fooled. Looked like a post I might make. _________________ Tales of the Rampant Coyote - Old-School Game Developer talks Indie Games, RPGs, and the Games Biz

Yeah it's strange Spambots seem to be posting more generally useful or generally convincing posts as of late. Soon they'll become self-aware and then we'll really be in trouble. Like one I encountered posted a general post that was vague but it was convincing enough to fool some people that didn't look at this sig. This one was even more convincing so it's scary.
I suppose since we have this topic we may as well make lemons into lemonade.
So in case you were wondering since FPSCreator's creators are celebrating their 10th Anniversary they're giving away some model pack for free.
Like this one, Urban Model Pack
I'm not sure if they're in a generally useful format, but they may be useful to somebody. I don't use FPS Creator or their model packs I was just told about. So maybe somebody can get use out of them. _________________ Mao Mao Games
