The spammer is indeed mentally ill and does not speak for most of us. Everyone and their dog knows the Spectrum was the computer for chavs who lived in a council flat and couldn't afford a C64 or Amstrad.

Honestly 1 person is responsible for making this board much harder to enjoy. It's the Wilyvania/speccy guy. Lot of boards have 1 autist that literally ruins the fun for everyone. /sp/ has Twain, /mu/ used to have a gorespammer who made sure no one talks about heavy metal. It's extra noticable on /vr/ because this is a slow board, and people don't make threads very often. So one autist making 5 threads every 6 hours and posting in every other thread every minute actually has a profound effect on the experience.

Im sure his ego is delighted to know he's affected my life so much. You're mentally ill buddy. No one likes you and you're ruining something people actually enjoy. I hope you find peace or blow your brains out, whichever comes first

Speccyposting is not just 1 guy. I did some speccy threads, just for fun, mocking the system and its fans.
The wilyvania poster, however, is one guy, and he's an old shitposter here on /vr/. He's trying to reverse the speccy mockery and turn it into a "speccy invented a genre that's commonly associated with nintendo" meme. It's not even the first time he's tried this.
