What's up with the gibberish named new members. (See pages 34-36) who haven't made a post? Is it a bot or what?

I noticed that too. I never really thought anything of it though, but it probably needs looking into.

It's a bot of sorts. All those accounts have been banned, but that's all I can do. It's up to the admin to whack them all.

Cool cool. That's what I figured was going on.

That sounds like fun. Almost makes me wanna be an admin so I can "whack them all"

Yeah, it sounds great but I got bored just looking at the list of nicks to delete.

Figured as much. As I said I don't really wanna be anyway. Don't really have the time or patience to try and monitor a forum and try to keep order. I'd probably get so fed up that most everyone would get deleted, including myself.

I can be a temporary admin with spam deleting powers because I have one thing they have:


I TOO HAVE NO LIFE!!!

Just look at how often I visit the forums.

At time of posting there are approximately 92 of them. It seems a bit ominous.
Interestingly, they started popping up on March 22, although that may or may not have any significance.
