Probably bots and spammersKlaus has done some housekeeping on the other forum because of that.
Yea, they've had hundreds and hundreds of bogus accounts for years.
When this was just the backup site the registration didn't require admin approval and we had a zillion spam accounts, too. I deleted them when we moved over here as the permanent WTF, and @axtremus changed registration to require approval.
The only hiccup that I'm aware of is that I rejected @marchant twice, not realizing that it was Ballyhoo with a new name.

Probably bots and spammersBeen getting very regular requests for new member registrations. Used to be they were pretty rare but recently they are more regular, probably averaging five or six a week. About a month ago there were 50 or more that came in within a couple of hours. I was like WTF?
Anyway, hopefully I haven't deep sixed any real new members, or old members returning under weird aliases!

Bit of excitement in the neighborhoodWoke up around midnight to the sound of a sewer cover clanking out in front of our house. I thought it might be kids pulling a stupid prank so I looked out the window to see what was going on. No kids, just a village public works truck and a bunch of guys walking around. Oh, and a huge lake in the street a couple of houses over from us. Water main break.
We didn't get much sleep because of the noise. Generator running the water pump they use to empty the water so they can do the repair, plus trucks to take away what they dug up and trucks to bring fill and cold patch. Between the ongoing water main replacement project and this repair of the old main, our street looks a bit like a war zone.
Good news is the water was back on in time to make coffee this morning!
Living in a community where repairs are done promptly is definitely a wonderful thing... -
