During its 400 days it's made a staggering 4 comments 1 of which was on its own submission. It almost exclusively submits geek.com and extremetech.com both of which are Ziff Davis properties and they are not at all shy about targeting and spamming HN - ExtremeTech have at least one employee that spams here [1] and had at least one puppet auto-submitting stories [2], and then there's the mysterious and probably automated 'help' from evo_9 [3] and ukdm [4] who have very long histories of heavily submitting these two sites. Finally we have adeelarshad82 [5] who exclusively submits Ziff Davis properties (PCMag.com is one too).
