Evidently it's a program pulling the names off the site because the referred to my wall as "Journeyman" but also know my first name. Anyone else getting this junk?

Hi Richard, I just set your wallpaper "Journeyman" as my background, it is amazing how talented you are on creating imagery like this. www.wincustomize.com is a wonderful site for artwork, and if you want to upload your wallpapers onto another site for free to display your work, feel free to check out www.funender.com Everything is totally free, but it helps people who are not involved in Art Design to see your work. I hope you can take advantage of what www.funender.com has to offer, and share your beautiful artwork with others. You may upload the images in the Photo section located here http://www.funender.com/phpBB2/album.php and you may post about it in the Design Forums here if you wish http://www.funender.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=22
Hope to see you soon!

I would concur but.. since I have no wallpaper called "Journeyman" I can only assume the bot grabbed my WC title and through it in there. Also, the letter seems pretty geared towards pushing the site. We'll see if anyone else here has had the same problem.

Very weird indeed... Sounds like a bot to me. What's really at the site? (Is too lazy to check himself)

actually it is a message board with multiple formats. Music, wallpapers everything basically. one could still peruse the site and get that info pretty easily. The Bot idea would require some pretty smart scripting I would think but certainly not impossible.

Mwah. It has happened before. Occasionally I get messages about how they saw my skins and if I could visit site X and so on. Yet I have no skins up anywhere. Hmm...

After checking out the site, it's actually not a bad site. Doesn't seem to be a lot of commercialism there so perhaps he collected a few names from here just to get some more members. There is a Dark Mist there but not sure if it's "our" Dark Mist.

That sounds familiar. I think I remember seeing him post a couple topics about his site on here.

the only objection I would have is that it was not personnalized by the sender and signing funender instead.
