Is X Rumer still alive?

Back in the 2000s, there was this super popular software called X Rumer. But over time, due to stricter rules and increasingly difficult CAPTCHAs, it started to decline and eventually lost all its competitiveness. I was wondering — are there any websites or tools nowadays that can still do what X Rumer used to do?
 
I don't think XRumer is commonly used these days for creating backlinks. it's mostly used by people for its XEvil CAPTCHA-breaking capabilities. That said, it's still a plugin option for creating Web 2.0 links, but it's heavy on CPU resources. Manual link building is probably a better option in most cases.
 
X-Rumer was a beast back in the day for automated forum/profile posting, but yeah, those glory days are long gone.
Modern CAPTCHAs, stricter moderation, and AI-based spam detection basically killed that old-school blast method.


These days, there’s no exact 1:1 replacement because platforms evolved.
Closest alternatives depend on what you want:


  • GSA Search Engine Ranker – still around, works with verified lists, but needs solid captcha-solving + proxies.
  • Scrapebox – more for scraping, blog commenting, and harvesting targets rather than pure blasting.
  • SEO Autopilot – for tiered link building with Web 2.0s, profiles, etc.
  • Private tools + AI content generators – many marketers now run custom bots with tools like Puppeteer/Selenium + captcha APIs.

Honestly, instead of raw “volume” posting like X-Rumer, people now mix manual + automated strategies to avoid footprints.
If you’re after pure nostalgia blasting, you might still find outdated XRumer builds in underground forums, but they won’t work the same without a lot of tweaking.


What exactly were you planning — link building, traffic, or just testing the old-school style? That’ll help narrow down the best tool.
Yes, thank you very much for such a detailed response. I was just curious whether there are any current projects that could rival the now-outdated Xrumer. I actually already have the entire list you provided, but I appreciate it nonetheless.


Right now, I think I'll focus more on building backlinks manually, simply because I like having full control over the entire process. But sometimes, when I look back and remember those times—especially now that we have AI—it makes me wonder: maybe Xrumer could be revived with its help!
 
XRumer Strong AI is just a beast and working way better than any other commercial tool.

Hi there!

You was posting some project here:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/x...ecaptcha-v2-and-v3-next.1673723/post-18856949

is this done with Strong AI already?

Never tried Xrumer, but rly thinking about doing that, coz every time I was browsing the interface it just looks very smooth and straightforward (compared to gsa lol)..but should I even be trying the v19 I have? Or the Strong AI is an must in 2025?

How do you get your links, with hrefer or GSA?

Thank you in advance!!!

Hi,

1) Yes, this was with v23 Strong AI

2) v19 still works fine but the upgrade to v23 is absolutely worth it. It saves you so much time and the quality of the posts is just great. Adapt the GPT settings to match your topic and forum posts and blog comments will be published and remain. Since v23.0.5 you can also use other GPTs like Mistral, so it's even better.

3) I'm scraping my own lists for T1 and use the mass lists for higher tiers.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!! I found your Strong AI thread too! Great information!
You mean mass list the 6m one supplied by Botmaster?
Have you ever used hrefer? I tried few days ago...it does find something but not a lot I guess Scrapebox is the only solution...

Botmaster's list is fine for higher levels. You can also look at the offers on botmastersupport.

I'm just too used to Scrapebox so I've never played much with hrefer.

Another option is commoncrawl which saves not only proxies for scraping, but lots of time.
 
xRumer just like GSA, are those tools that could land you a good residual link by chance. Its a little bit like the Powerball, possibility but low chance specially if you are directly targetting your MS.

Nowadays only parasites poweruse a tool like this. Personally I've been much more inclined to GSA because I know it in detail. But I've heard many users from xRumer having some sort of success. Not like I'm ranking a "visit New York" keyword #1 thanks to xRumer, but helping push that "Apollo 13 FullHD Torrent" keyword to top 10 in for the parasited Github repository.

Well I'm just setting up one stop shop to boost the f of this very parasited Github repo with GSA and good old Xrumer just catch my attention again It's the ugly Lada in garage nobody ever touching after buying it with XEvil:D
 
xrumer is alive in 2025 but whether it works or not is still a question. will give it a try.
