Nuke some spammers

As some of you may or may not know, PRStorm is the name of the tool with which a shitload of idiots are bombarding our weblogs with referrer spam. Probably one of the most evil tools from hell available on the internet. They even have the guts to charge a whopping $60 for this sleazy gui wrapper around a http-getter script. One of the premier large Dutch weblogs Retecool has setup their so called Braatolizer with PRStorm's website (their contact form) as a target. It's a small javascript thingy that automatically fills out the contact form and thus sends them massive amounts of 'feedback email' from their website. The article on retecool.com is in Dutch but you'll find some screenshots of the tool there as well as the most important part: the Braatolizer script. Download it HERE and open the page called laatmaardraaien.html in your favourite browser in order to send the PRStorm people some ehm... feedback!

Check the retecool.com article
Download the Braatolizer and join in!

UPDATE: unfortunately it didn't take long for them to remove the contact form...
