MOST USERS ONLINE FOR SEPTEMBER: 86
Since about halfway through the month the most users online at a given time has dropped considerably. What hasn't dropped is the number of spam account requests. That's actually increased and the usernames have become increasingly random. Here's a small sample of what recent spam account request usernames look like:

MOST USERS ONLINE FOR OCTOBER: 104
Most days when I was perusing this forum the number of users online was in the thirties or forties, but there were a few spikes throughout the month and some lulls in activity also. Also remaining high was the number of spam user account requests. In fact, I deleted about 1200 such requests just a little while ago. There were somewhere around one hundred spam user account requests per day on average for the month of October.

MOST USERS ONLINE FOR FEBRUARY: 77
Same number as for January. What a coincidence. This message board is still being hit with over a thousand spam account requests per month.

I did some digging around and discovered that this message board dates back to September 2009. I had no idea that it's been around so long.

Yes, what you see here is the second upgrade. The previous two installations are archived. One you can still view and the other is just an offline database. Somewhere around two dozen of us were members going way back to 2009.

That's lower than normal, but we had a huge number of spam account requests. One single day reached 250 such requests and the daily total was reliably over 100 all month long with only a few exceptions.

There has been a surge in spambot requests for some reason. Maybe a twenty percent increase over normal.
