Yeah, that's the problem. Most of those accounts are spam bots...
If you don't believe check the Members list. It's easy to recognize them.
They usually have a weird website, ICQ and MSN attached to their profile and no Email.
And that's making our forum so slow. Well, at least for me.
We didn't have that kind of problems on Zetaboards... :(
Well ever since Marcus put in the Captcha image thing, bots haven't been an issue. But I do sympathise.
Whatever happened to the thing to delete all old accounts?
HEY! A NEW BOT JUST SIGNED UP!
Unbelievable. Apparently, he's a used car salesman. From Chicago I believe. No. Way. :o
And he has logged in twice! OMG

And I banned his ass this morning! ZOMG
If you banned his ass, what did you do with the rest of him?
A memberpurge might be still on the cards if there's support, though I don't think it's the main thing slowing the system by any means.
His ass was the only part of him that gave a armadillo in trying to spam us to death. (http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc283/Hjelmen0/Forumgas/Shifty.gif)
Well, we can try to get a bot deleting system voted in, but it's up to the citizens to decide whether or not they want it.
