    Huh. How do they get their accounts registered if e-mail verification is required? These are some high-tech spambots.

    Anyway, they won't be posting any topics, so no need to worry.

    I can barely see that it said that there were 217 members. The forum index now reads 239 members. If the Orange Belt server gets about 20 new accounts a week, about perhaps one is an actual person, how long would it be before the server crashed? After all, profile pages/users take up "space" too.

    I don't think it will cause a server crash. We've got plenty of space to spare. Also, I go in every couple of weeks and weed out some of the spam users. I'm glad to see the measures we've taken have proven so effective in preventing new threads by bots. Thanks again to hlavco for the suggestions!

    You should need to post at least once to get a profile page.

    This "Mario" fella sounds like a most vicious Rogue.

    Hey, mario, any idea what we can do about this guy called "Mario" who is stalking our forums?

    I think we solved this spambot problem some time ago. Let us speak of it no more!

    Eep! Sorry mario, I didn't realize it was closed. Also, I realize that I'm violating your command again by posting again, but you're not on AIM so I'm sort of out of options, sry dood :(

    This thread is hereby reopened so that I can make fun of our newest spam user!

    His name is "Dr.DrugDoc". I'm still giggling. I guess it could be a her. "Dr.DrugDoc" could totally be female.

    "Doctor, I think I need surgery!"
    "Nonsense! Have some morphine!"

    I wonder if a young DrugDoc ever had aspirations to be a stand-up comedian or an artist, but his dad threatened to disown him if he didn't take up the family tradition of getting a doctorate in drugs.

    Don't make a mockery of poor drug doc's plight. He had to get a job as a stripper to pay for his school, all because of his father's hatred of the arts.

    Plus the Janitor wants to kill him...

    But, no! Could it be? The janitor is actually an older Dr. DrugDoc visiting from the future!

    Did you jam the door with drugs, Dr. DrugDoc? If you did, I'm gonna find out, and you're gonna pay.
  • stefstef

    I'd think that Dr.DrugDoc's M.O. would be to drug the door open. Not sure how that works, but then, I don't have a doctorate in drugs.

    He'd give them Doorphine.

    Just a heads up, but our newest member is called "refinancemortgagess".

    Maybe it's just a guy that is interested in refinancing mortgages! Don't be too quick to judge!
  • geokogeoko

    Good point! I've actually been thinking about refinancig mortgages recently. Anyone know any good sites to check out for that? Also, I've been looking for tips on stocks I should buy, reduced price PH4RMAC3UTIKALS, and any kind of drugs you might know about to enhance my... "ego."

    (Oh, and keep this quiet, but if anyone wants to go in with me on this deal to make millions, the king of Thisisnotascamadon has contacted me about a deal that could make us rich!!!)

    They're coming back Mario.

    I humbly request that you alter the new member registration requirements so that everyone needs to submit a blood sample.
