Just follow the instructions. You'll know what I'm talking about once you read the posts on forum #2.

The second post seems to be freakishly strange with a relation to the first post. The second post is strangely in the Windows category while they talk about Gentoo portage. It also has word-for-word snippets from the first post. Where is the trend?

The trend is that the entire forum #2 seems to be generated by a web crawler that scans other forums and rewords random posts.

Notice how all the posts are about the same length, and how they follow a similar basic structure.

I think someone is trying to get attention from search results; note that the first thing you see in a thread is a load of ads, thus it could be money-related.
WTF, I didn't know these things existed! Are they run by the site owners themselves to increase interest?
