Yeah, these are spambots and a lot of them register on this forum. Alledgedly the switch to ZetaBoards will be a good thing in this regard, so let's hope it will decrease spambot activity.

Deleting those topics is currently all that can be done. I can't even bear to look at the members list anymore - I'd wager we have something around 200 genuine members (if it's even that much), the remainder are spam accounts.

Only recently I came across PM spam on another forum; let's hope that won't happen here.

Very sad...

SSh they will hear you

Once conversion to Zetaboards is done this should be history.
