It appears we are having a problem with spambots registering again. Every few months we get a rash of them.

As a result, I've started going over recent new users and deleting any that appear to be spambots. Most of them have emails that bounce so it's kinda easy to weed them out but a few manage to get through.

I apologize in advance to anyone who may have registered recently and find that their account was removed. However, let that be a warning that you should perhaps not use a questionable website in your profile. Also, posting an initial "Hi there" post will prevent deletion as well.

[edit]I've gone through and purged inactive users and dead accounts out of the members list. Quite a few indeed.
