BOTS!

any idea how the hell did they suddenly start popping up here? is there something wrong with the forum software itself and how can they register and why now... this forum is damn old and there hasn't been any bots before?

I don't know. Must be new algorithms by proboards utilizing search engine optimization to connect forums together or build large user database. Though based on the threads created by the bots, the relevancy of the topics to this videogame based forum is questionable at best. Since this forum is old and mostly irrelevant, that almost confirms the bots choose boards at random. As for whether or not the software is bad, I think the bots are intentionally placed by proboards itself to increase page views or something. It's gotta be an inside job.

the emails they use are (probably) legit at least judging how they aren't just random selection of numbers and letters... quite possibly stolen accounts.
whatever, just seemed so weird to see two pop up and both were spambots for malicious websites. maybe more appear eventually unless you start doing some manual accepting thingy where you look over the profile and decide if it's a bot or not.

I didn't bother looking at what they posted. Was it really malicious?

don't you have some logs in admin panel or something for every little thing that happens on the forum?
maybe not, just a guess.
well the posts did contain hyperlinks to some sites I really didn't dare even try opening on my home PC, but looking at the link where it would have taken you was very shady. then the posts had some random mentions of cracks (as in program cracks for pirated software) and other random shit. in most cases the links lead to malicious/phishing sites.

i've seen these types of bots taking over other forums because the moderation there is close to non-existent... so you have pages and pages of bot spammed shit with all kinds of ads and other malicious content.
