Okay I'll bite. Why?

I am making a site for trolls and spammer. I thought masses of spambots would be a good thing.

Interesting idea. Can I have a link?
All the spam IPs appear to be from the Philippines. I'll just httpd.conf-block the entire country.

That should do the trick. For now at least. Wink
@CAwesome, any of the sites look like it may be the origin? I want to sign up and get some spam.

@RPicard, its www.tm0.org (not opened)
It's probably coming from all the footer links on every site that uses my themes.
What ever you do, DO NOT USE reCAPTCHA. Works like **** I didn't get registrations for almost a month, just to find out that once I installed reCAPTCHA it gave you random errors when registering.

What I would suggest, add askimet. Works great.

Make sure email verify is turned on.

Use this plugin http://www.mybbcentral.com/thread-1496.html

Works like a charm. Blocked about 98% of spam users and doesn't annoy real members.

What made you think of that domain? I think I've seen someone with the username 'Tm0'.
You may be thinking of "T0m", though I haven't seen him around much these days.

No, I don't think he was on this site though. One of labrocca's forums (I think Support Forums).
