Ashley Madison website hacked

Exactly, Chives, people DO do things that aren't acceptable, but if people like Jimmy Swaggert and Jim Baker can find their way out of the mess they created, then one could expect that of other people, too.

Another suicide, this time a Pastor. They just interviewed his family and they were so devastated to learn that he thought so little of their love for him that he didn't feel he'd be forgiven. I wouldn't call that brave at all.

- Well said and couldn't agree with you more.

- There might not be a lot of women on there because it is a paid site, but could that be because they are all on POF, OKCUPID because it is free? Oh, and lets not delude ourselves that there aren't married women on these two sites. Not having a picture doesn't always translate to they are overweight. Separated usually means they are looking for extra on the side before they go back to Mr Wonderful who they later gets blindsided

seems sort of cruel - people do do things that maybe not acceptable to all. but suicide?
hoping you typed before you thought.

thinking most know now that this site basically had men as clients, woman who joined barely said
anything, or met anyone, as it seems so did the guys.

:redface: ...sooo..what's a "bot"? I understand it's not a real person, but how can or does it communicate with a live person? I guess it responds to the original email address that some guy enters, but what then? What's the purpose of it? Can anyone explain what its purpose was on that site?

I suspect the company basically operated like a text-based phone sex operation. They hired people to create steamy content, and when the men thought they were having a hot sex chat with some young beautiful woman, they were actually getting canned responses from the bots. I am sure a lot of guys got what they needed without ever crossing the line, ironically ;) More like having a o stories email subscription.

Okay...thanks, Lecale, you got me half-way there, lol, but in order to "respond" to someone...it would have to know what the other person is saying....right? Boy, I'm so naive when it comes to things like this!! :)
Maybe that's a good thing....:rolleyes:

Wow. The things I don't know. Which, in this case, is probably an okay thing! ;)
Thanks, Lecale!

That's why men had to pay money and women were free - men were the only ones getting the "service".

As Josh Duggar had a $250 guarenteed affair package and was doing the deed with a actress...I'm wondering if she was recuited by AM as one of thier female decoys.

Simple pattern recognisition, it's fairly easy to progamme once you can deliniate the parameters.
