...the logic of spending a couple of days spamming a technical site, presumably full of rational, thinking beings with a "service" that is clearly designed to separate credulous morons from their hard-earned cash? Particularly since a fair number of them are now being removed in less time than it takes to post them up in the first place? (Thanks to some sterling work by Protectors with a Delete Option in QA).
Escapes me completely...

There is no logic in spamming 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Rumour has it there are some students around, they're always desperate. 
Seriously, I think a lot of it is to get the number/name/site high in search engines or some such.

Yeah, but that's for sex and drugs, not religion and love...

This probably has nothing to do with the site and its content at all, I guess.
It probably isn't even about the users of it.
The only reason I see is Blackhat SEO(bump up a search term as quickly and cheap as possible to gain maximum revenue in the shortest possible amount possible where you don't care if the site gets banned from search engines after a few days).
And as a probably well reputated site with quality content I'd assume search engines are indexing codeproject quite often...

When did you look at Q&A last?
Sorry, rhetorical question, I just wanted to point out that there might actually be a sound thinking behind the spamming.

The people who write the questions don't look at other questions or answers, this is well known. In fact they don't look at their own code, google, or even the stars...

+5 and another few on top of that.

Then again, do you believe spammers are "rational, thinking beings"? 
|
|
|
|

Given the intelligence level of some of the questions that appear here these days, it seems perfectly logical.

My little site that doesn't get much traffic has been hit by spammers lately also. Wonder what the hell the deal is? As if there weren't already enough advertising around the web?

I've just got back from the shops, where I saw some marmalade with your name on. So I thought I have to buy it and send the jar over to you.
Unfortunately now that I got it home, I realised it said Thick Cut
