What gives it was silent for so long and now the spammers are back. Is it the next gen of auto-bot forum spammers?

Yup. I banned the fuckers and upgraded the board software so hopefully we are finished with this round.

I think the hole that let the spammers in was caused by an incomplete or faulty upgrade. many of you noticed issues with looking at user profiles and such. I have reupgraded the site and I think the problems are resolved. Let me know if you see anything weird...besides one of Uma's posts.

Wow so many spambots crawling all over the site these days, good to see that they're getting blocked tho. Haven't seen any new spam posts, but it sure looks like they're trying.

How can you tell they are spambots? They could just be legitimate 'guests'. Barbarians who can figure out how to log in, skulking hobbits surfing from pr0n or druids cruising for small furry animals.

Well, when there are 9 guests on the board at midnight who are looking at ancient post or trying to register I just kinda assume. Oh sure some of it is spyders and the like as well, but it ain't our group.
