Hey guys, first timer here.
I'm a novice with the tech lingo so be gentle.
I'm looking for a desktop app which will allow me to create one post and then mass post it to many pre-registered forums with one click. Is this possible? I'm not a spammer but looking for the marketing aspect here with value data to attract forum groups. Thanks for the help.
Mass forum posting script?

Spam = Mass marketing...
Fine line between the two...
It's likely no forum moderator/owner is going to appreciate you doing that, in fact many probably have terms which stipulate that.
It's spamm-ish because of that reason and it's general knowledge that communities are pretty good at deciphering automated or authenticate posts...
IMHO 95% of people really don't like automated posts
So yes, technically it's possible, although many use captcha images now to prevent spamming like you suggest.
So I would look into other possibilities of "mass" marketing...like paying for Google adWords or something.
Cheers

Aaaahh, and all that time I was thinking I was being spammed on my weblog. Seems I was so wrong. Those are just honest marketing campaigns with value data. Stupid, why didn't I know that? Now I deleted all those messages....I'm looking for a desktop app which will allow me to create one post and then mass post it to many pre-registered forums with one click. Is this possible?
