SnS,
I'm pretty sure you're talking to a bot. Google "stewyoume" and you'll find a lot of nearly identical posts.
stewyoume,
Beep.

so once a bot is registered it can make more than it's original post? If so I will delete the username and get rid of said bot.

Yep. Typically bots spam once and disappear but more and more now they'll post several topics. It's fairly unusual to have a bot that just spams - they usually have links in them - but I guess there are still some people who believe in the good old days of bot spam when it wasn't about corrupting computers or scamming people, just annoying the hell out of board owners. :twisted:
His other topic is
exactly the same as
stewyoume's topic
here on RGJ.com.

I'm pretty sure the goal here is to get past the gap a lot of boards have between first post and an X day window after which you can post links.
You'll notice that stewyoume's posts all fall on the same sort of phpbb board.
