Question Who is vendor PostRelease and why is every single one of their threads locked?

I just bumped across this vendor and found something very odd about them. They have 128 posts total and 124 threads made. And every single thread they have was locked before anyone even posted in the thread.

I don't mind their threads since they can be somewhat informative and offer discounts but the cluttering up of the sidebar with a page full of advertisements to me is alot more annoying.

I always figured it was a bot of sorts that updates on all the forums that IB owns. It's a marketing tool and the companies/events they advertise probably pay them to do so.

What is really annoying is a vendor bumping a dozen if threads in two minuets.

Vendors are allowed 1 bump, per thread, each day IIRC...
