"DON'T check out the post that says "Check this out""


          

I just did. Clicked on the attachment and it made my computer make a loud buzzing sound. I sent alert and am waiting to hear what it is.

I see the post that I sent the alert on is gone now. I'm assuming that if it was taken off that there is, indeed, a problem with the link that was in it. Could a moderator please tell me what that was and if I have a computer problem, now? It flashed some message about deleting something to do with boot files (or something) and that I wouldn't be able to shut off my computer and get back on. Is that true??? Help!

relax....

I visited that link, and it was "only a joke"
In poor taste, but a joke.

It really isn't possible to delete your files that way.

It was about as funny as your date bringing you to meet the parents and finding out that you're all going to watch porno because "they're such a close family".

Not quite as funny as finding out.... afterwards that dad is really mom and they are brother and sister... I mean sister and brother... oh shit, now I'm confused. Now it's not funny anymore.

Yo, Grogan!

You realize that you cracked the 10,000 post barrier?

Funny how things like that get noticed.

Check your email... (msn).

I told you it looked harmless (I viewed the source at the site the URL redirects to), but I feel that it's not funny if it causes someone distress. Your computer is fine, don't worry.
