Probably bots and spammers
-
Been 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!

Klaus 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.
