Yeah, there's 3 online now. Kind of makes you wonder what the point is to these bots...I mean, there's got to be some point, someone wouldn't just start this both thing for nothing. Hoping it's not malicious.

I think the bots are signing up under the impression that they need to be registered to view the members list, then harvesting email addresses from the members list of whomever chose to make theirs public.

The only real fun thing about whacking bots after a while is stealing their names and making them into fictional charactors.

My favorite is an incompetent smelly dwarf criminal named Whego Wasefak.

I'm wondering whether the presence of all these bots is somehow responsible for the recent downtime we've been having.
