What's up with the gibberish named new members. (See pages 34-36) who haven't made a post? Is it a bot or what?

I noticed that too. I never really thought anything of it though, but it probably needs looking into.

It's a bot of sorts. All those accounts have been banned, but that's all I can do. It's up to the admin to whack them all.

Hey, it's Whack-a-bot! How many tokens does it cost to play?
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

That sounds like fun. Almost makes me wanna be an admin so I can "whack them all"

Yeah, it sounds great but I got bored just looking at the list of nicks to delete.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Figured as much. As I said I don't really wanna be anyway. Don't really have the time or patience to try and monitor a forum and try to keep order. I'd probably get so fed up that most everyone would get deleted, including myself.

I can be a temporary admin with spam deleting powers because I have one thing they have:


I TOO HAVE NO LIFE!!!

Just look at how often I visit the forums.

At time of posting there are approximately 92 of them. It seems a bit ominous.
Interestingly, they started popping up on March 22, although that may or may not have any significance.
