What's with all the spam accounts?
Clearly they're not making it through validation as none of them are posting, but every time I log on there's loads of them either online or in the process of registering.

We've had a problems in the past with bots signing up a zillion accounts just to fill the profiles with spam links, so I'd guess it's that. The idea is that search engine crawlers will see the links in the profiles and it'll bump up the linked site's search engine ranking.
I'm pretty sure I adjusted the forum software so that search engine bots can't view user profiles the last time this happened, just out of spite.

Cryspovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Partitiviridae. Protists serve as natural hosts. There is currently only one species in this genus: the type species Cryptosporidium parvum virus 1.[1][2]

Structure
Viruses in Cryspovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=1 symmetry. The diameter is around 30-35 nm. Genomes are linear and segmented, around 2.1kb in length. The genome codes for 2 proteins.[1]
Genus Structure Symmetry Capsid Genomic arrangement Genomic segmentation
Cryspovirus Icosahedral T=1 Non-enveloped Linear Segmented
Life cycle
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. Protists serve as the natural host.[1]

Might as well since not many people are posting here now of days to make it worthwhile.Brendocon 2.0 wrote:As it's happening again, I think the only sensible solution is to ban everyone and close the board.
In all seriousness a lot of message boards seem to be slowing down and some are just plain dead or dying a slow death, hell most of the major entertainment companies are ditching them and going to *shudder* social media platforms like reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, and the like.
I been on some forums with a Twitter account and I wouldn't be surprised that there are some if not all those forums that their twitter feeds are more active than the forums are.
Please visit Outlaw Colony my new message board it's a fun site for fun people.

I think there's more than just machine learning from the way they've consistently made it past some of the security questions, and it's being farmed out MTurk-style to developing nations or similar.Brendocon 2.0 wrote:Clearly they're not making it through validation as none of them are posting, but every time I log on there's loads of them either online or in the process of registering.
