Spamathon 2008
 

:confused:What is going on with the spambots this spring?

First it seemed to be just "bound" getting hammered, but now they're hitting "process" and even "headset" (with the amusing links to "euro Club Hits" compilations!)

Bless you to the mods for fighting the good fight and cleaning things up. But doesn't it seem we're getting a lot more spam than ever before?

Yehiknow.

Doing the best I can with the mop and bucket.

It's Leon's fault. He's been visiting Hardcore Spam sites through the Dirty servers. We tried an intervention, but he just doesn't want anyone's help. He's in deep.

For a serious answer, it's probably because when the forums were on Scott's server, the e-mail function was broken for a long time, so new user registrations wouldn't actually receive their confirmation e-mail, and so couldn't activate their new accounts. On Yan's server, the e-mails actually work.

I think I prefer Ceramic'cow's answer. But thanks anyway. :D

I blame Leon.

Well actually, I give you the right to. I might be a mod, but I don't know how to ban someone.
