What is the deal with HAL

Post by Oneyepie »

Has someone really stayed in character this long to try and get a few laughs?

Is it an actual bot that has been programmed to be really really unfunny?

Does anyone know the actual person and are they normal in real life?

I was thinking that as soon as I joined this forum...I was reading over some of the posts and I've noticed he always says the same thing and it has nothing to do with the topic discussed, but other times he actually says something that is a bit to do with the topic.
I'm really suspicious about the whole thing quite personally...
Maybe he goes for Carlton and he's a spy :shock:

lol
Collingwood ftw :)

Rip into em Hal, they're picking on your sense of humour.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I would be interested to know what the mods think and how they can justify pulling others up for off topic posts when all HAL does is post off topic?

I am not repeating myself too much. I am just checking to see if you are a robot.
