Suddenly, a wild jerk appears... search.php?author_id=48563&sr=posts

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

no idea if it's an honest mistake or spam but ...

Post 1062871

linking to some android app on a thread for top 100 DOS apps.

seems fishy to me
especially for a first post.

🤣, if that isn't textbook, prototypical spam, then I'm I. C. Wiener.

I don't remember registering here in 2013 - isn't there some kind of protection in place, a bloody captcha or common sense check?

It's amazing that not even facebook gets a grip on that, but at a remote place like this, it's sad. Maybe avoid the term "Äpp" - it's an unnecessary buzzword and the current eye of the cultural bullshit hurricane. And that attracts vermin, as one can see.
What's wrong with program, tool, or god forbid, the whole word "application"?

Online SPAM. Eff me. If our society ever tilts into totalitarianism again, I want corporal punishment for these people. There must be some upside to it.

I like jumpers.

They can. You just have to go to the topic you want to post on. You can't create a new topic in the Active topics, New posts, or Your posts views.

It clearly states "can post new topics" not can't

That's just an info box, not the "post" button. The "post new topic" button is the plus button at the top right of the forum view, whereas the info box is the plus symbol at the bottom left of the forum view. weedeewee already pointed out that the info box says you can post.

Can you post a screenshot of the error message when you try and make a new post?
