Lots of New Members

<< < (2/5) > >>

MilesAhead:
We get about 80 new members a day.

(we used to get over twice that a day until i hardened the registration page and stopped the automated bots from registering -- that's a scary thought isn't it?)

That's weird.  What's the advantage of registering if you're a bot? Or is it people using those BugMeNot autoregs because they can't be bothered?

i suspect that every popular site on the web has bot scripts that try to create as many accounts as possible, every day, to sell to spam bot networks.. the accounts probably stay dormant until needed.  its not surprising that spam bot networks are creating automated accounts to deploy in the future.. it's just surprising how many accounts they are trying to make every day.

phitsc:
I start wondering who of you guys I've been talking to / discussing with are actually just bots :o

Ath:
Hm, did we talk? ;D
