They just use search engines and web crawlers to hit anything that has vBulletin or phpBB in the results...

Oh, and here I thought that our neck of the woods was getting a bit popular. I guess we are still a lonely island made out of misfits and nukedog.

Delaware's out. Buffalo's out.

The bots are getting so good I have to check their email address against a Gray List. Their IP's good, email name is good, location is good. It's getting tough.

This forum has multiple anti-bot blocks, but for the past few days, we've only been catching them through extreme personal vetting, which makes me think actual people in Moldavia, Ukraine, Russia, etc. are signing up. This has been happening every few minutes. (I wish there were some real signups in all that.)

But if you eliminate ALL the spam bots how is Clubby going to find the best place to go for the penis enlargement surgery he so desparately needs?

The onslaught of phony sign-ups continues. I can only attribute it to our "Make Martin Famous" campaign. If we had 1/100th the new traffic as we have new exploiters, this place would be packed.

On the Jason Stapleton Facebook page there's been some discussion on what a shithole the Common Sense Facebook page has become so I've been dropping links here and there without trying to spam Jason's page
