For lame progz, I loved Gothic Nightmares by Masta. Every time it opened it'd play the intro to ICP's Great Milenko and just made you feel like you were some cool hacker dude lol. Mikey's VIP spammer was pretty awesome too, except he inserted his own affiliate links in every n message so he was probably making a lot of money from a lot of unsuspecting IM spammers.

I remember carding hosting, creating a site, calling it dk-online and uploading every spammer and email harvester we had, then posting a bunch of affiliate links. I think I made like $800 in AdultRevenueService webmaster referrals before the site was taken down.. good times..
