 probably slipped everyones notice.... Little while ago I noticed some oddness going on. I would say that there are a couple hundred 'random' users who joined this forum between 10 Apr 2009 12:46:PM and 06 Aug 2008 06:47:AM .... and have never made a post.. yet.
To name a few: q246vf59g, topt578, jklm877, 58111300081, Doyota0559, etc, etc...
Probably further back to the beginning of 2008. These users have zero posts. Call me crazy, but I think someone has planned for this type of spam waaaaay in advance.
I would suggest cleaning out the user dbase.

Re: probably slipped everyones notice.... I agree.
Is there a way to filter the database tho?
I take it we already have captcha here? (spam bots got round that years ago tho)
It seems to me like a human spammer tho.
I know its not a security risk... just a pain!!
DONT delete JP by mistake!! Laff (Doesn't post very often)

Re: probably slipped everyones notice.... The key is to not log in here till later at night. That way someone has clean them all up and you dont have to look at it.  Seriously though SG and the others seem to have been doing a good job of cleaning it up as soon as they see it.
