They aren't just here. They are on .win in general. I'm guessing they are afraid of even small amounts of opposition because it could grow. They also could just be studying us, trying to find effective shill techniques that can be ported elsewhere.

I and a couple of friends of mine have a theory that every semi-open forum on the web is monitored and targeted. I've seen copy-paste comments made on different forums within a lot of subjects I keep an on eye on, from guns to agriculture to business. And as far as the resource expenditure goes, if you run a billion-dollar revenue business, spending a million bucks a year on your own personal 50 Cent Army is the same as the average American spending about $75.

We, kia2 win, do get the occasional obvious bot posts often posting to gambling sites. It's trivial for a bot to make accounts and post but that they show up here at all means someone's analytics show this site to be worth the effort. And if someone running gambling bots has that data you can be sure much larger groups do as well.

And like Arch mentioned they are on .win in general so there is likely blanket coverage for these sites. "Stormfag" is even likely to be a treated as a keyword for bots (or humans) to monitor, the same way /pol/ believes "sneed" is now used.
