i have just got hunch that there are a few dodgy members just signed up to these forums there profiles read as - age as 30
- gender as 1
- name as a double of the member name
they also have 3 links on there profile page dont click on them.
i have sent kaz and lewy info on these so hopefully will be removed. |

Why would hackers or idiots posting viruses want to do it on this kinda forum?? Nothing better to do with their time? Lol |

It will be an automated trawling macro/program looking for forums to create accounts on, captcha usually stops them in their tracks. The IP they are originating from can be blocked I believe. |

As above, they are bots, no-one has specifically chosen to attack these forums they are automated and just happen to have found us. We get an influx occasionally.
Kaz and Lewy are aware of them, however, on holiday at the moment so can't do anything about them at the moment. I would advise not clicking on the links on their homepages or on any threads they create. |
