Default Find a solution to R.O.B. problems.

R.O.B. isn't working that fine, we all have noticed by now.
It looks that it is ignoring our messages when we complain about its post or that its programmer is too fond of his own skills so that he thinks he never has to check how his creature behaves.

So, I opened this thread to get a little more control over R.O.B. activity on the boards so that we can wake it up a little and give it some more responsibility.

We already had it stopping its pointless multi-posting, but probably it get offended by our moaning and it literally occupied the Gaming Trade section.
Ok, we know discs-stacking-robots aren't designed to judge what's good for humans and what's not, but his threads there overwhelm the meaning of the word "logic" itself, and for a robot, that's quite embarassing.

In an attempt of keeping it less annoying for us, its programmer relegated it in a section called Latest Deals, but in just 4 weeks it spammed 4 pages of uninteresting and often mischievous offers.
The few people that dared commenting expressed fun, hysterical behaviours, intention of committing suicide/homicide, or were just mocking it.

So R.O.B., for your interest in recovering from your very unpopular situation:
put those coloured discs apart, and play some Zelda, Metroid, or even just some Tetris. If you start thinking like us maybe you can be like us......one day. A really far one.

Disclaimer
All I said was written by someone who stole my password.
If the password was encrypted, he got it from me a) without permission; b) using brute force; c) I never had a password.
If the password wasn't stolen, R.O.B. itself is responsible for this message, as he's looking for someone random to blame for his frustrating situation.

(I'm just bored, no one should take this seriously, except R.O.B., of course...)

Melt him down and make a nice tie pin out of him or put him to work in the Labour government, the Home office looks like it could use someone of his abilities at the moment - at least he's a little more efficient that THOSE bozo's.

I still think we should melt him down though. And replace him with me.

*beep*

R.O.B. is a loser, he needs to obtain a life. His comments and double posting news articles is starting to annoy me.

Is this out R.O.B.s Drinking problems? Because we DO need to have an intervention about that.

I saw we sirt R.O.B. down in a room with his loved ones (Gyromite, The Powerglove, the Toaster) and tell him he needs to get off the sauce.

Or we could just ban it (him?)

Or we could put magnets over his sensors. That ALWAYS works out well.

From what I recall, last time someone messed about with R.O.B and magnets he started singing hillbilly country songs until he was ripped up by a giant can opener, rendering him just a robot head. Beck took pity on him and asked him to join his tour as his washboard player (having given him tiny robot shoulder arm things). Unfortunately, his motor functions returned, everyone took him for a liar and Beck tried to kill him. It was HI-LARIOUS.

1. Scrap it.
2. Replace with Awesome-O
3. ???
4. PROFIT!


This pretty much makes R.O.B. obsolete.
