UPDATED 4!

Added a page that gives a step-by-step tutorial for the Greasemonkey approach. It's another Firefox extension that you can use to accomplish the same thing. It may be a bit easier to setup for less tech-savvy people, but I still prefer iMacros because it will prompt me for the captcha text. For the tutorial, click here

When you are ready to uninstall Greasemonkey, just follow the Uninstall Tutorial, only instead of clicking on iMacros in the Add-ons window, you would click on Greasemonkey. But you knew that... right?

You can find the Uninstall Tutorial here

UPDATED 3!

Added a short tutorial on how to uninstall iMacros, for when we have succeeded! Find it here

UPDATED 2!

Highlighted text in the macro and gave extra instructions, to prevent people from colliding with each other when using the script.

UPDATED!

The macro now prompts you for the captcha (the image's text), which makes the macro easier than ever!

 

Some people have expressed concern about downloading the iMacros addon, that they are worried they may get spyware or even a virus. Let me tell you, I did not create this. It is a very popular addon for Firefox, and is made and maintained by a reputable owner. It is completely safe. It also extremely easy to uninstall. For easy-to-follow instructions on how to uninstall iMacros, just click here

First, go to addons.mozilla.org

 Then, search for iMacros

 Click "Add to Firefox"

 Install it, then restart Firefox

Click the new iMacros button on your bar.

 

Right-click #Current.iim and go to 'Edit Macro'

*NOTE: If you do not have #Current.iim file, click the Rec tab at the bottom, then click 'Record', then 'Stop' and it should show up.

 Highlight and delete any pre-existing code (if there is any). Copypasta the following into the code window:


var macro;
var jsLF = "\n";
var i, retcode, errtext;
var MyPosts;


for (i=0;i<=1000;i++) {

var randomnumber1 = Math.floor(Math.random()*110);
var randomnumber2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*1100);
var randomnumber3 = Math.floor(Math.random()*1100000);
var waitseconds = 8;

/* Create the Macro */
macro = "CODE:";
macro += "URL GOTO=https://twitter.com/signup?follow=basementdad&commit=Join+today!" + jsLF;
macro += "TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:https://twitter.com/account/create ATTR=ID:user_name CONTENT=DUCK<SP>TOLL" + jsLF;
macro += "TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:https://twitter.com/account/create ATTR=ID:user_screen_name CONTENT=CHANGETHIS" + randomnumber3 + jsLF;
macro += "SET !ENCRYPTION NO" + jsLF;
macro += "TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=ACTION:https://twitter.com/account/create ATTR=ID:user_user_password CONTENT=Ducktoll" + jsLF;
macro += "TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:https://twitter.com/account/create ATTR=ID:user_email CONTENT=CHANGETHIS" + randomnumber1 + "@CHANGETHIS" + randomnumber2 + ".com" + jsLF;
macro += "PROMPT Captcha: !VAR1" + jsLF;
macro += "TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:https://twitter.com/account/create ATTR=ID:recaptcha_response_field CONTENT={{!VAR1}}" + jsLF;
macro += "TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:https://twitter.com/account/create ATTR=ID:user_create_submit" + jsLF;
macro += "TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:sign_out_link" + jsLF;


retcode = iimPlay(macro);
if (retcode < 0) { // an error has occured
errtext = iimGetLastError();
alert(errtext);
}

if (retcode < 0) { // an error has occured
errtext = iimGetLastError();
alert(errtext);
break;
}

}

 

*CHANGE the RED text to ANYTHING else. This will make your usernames unique and prevent you from overlapping with other people that are using the macro.

Now, click the little disk button at the top to save it.  DO NOT click 'Save & Close' at the bottom.

 Refresh your iMacro sidebar (close it then re-open it) and click the 'Rec' tab at the bottom, then click 'Load'.

 

Find basementdad.js and click 'Open'

 Now, open a new tab and click "Play"

Unfortunately, there's no way to 100% automate this, as you must type in captcha text. However, the macro will prompt you for the text.

If you have any trouble, then you're too much a newfag for this noble pursuit.

 

Good luck and Godspeed.
