I haven't had the "oops" screen in a few days but I think we might have some bots among us.
OH GOD ITS HAPPENING AGAIN!!!

I had them all day yesterday but nothing today and Ive been on a LOT today.
We catch at least 95% of the spam bots before they ever get seen by members on the forum. Often it looks worse than this, but you can see in the screenshot how many people show as banned in the Members Online area. And those are freshly banned members

We're a small website in the middle of nowhere, with very little actual traffic for a niche hobby. I don't get why we would get targeted by spam?

I wonder that myself sometimes. We were BIG once though and the site still comes up as the top result in many a Gargle search. Pretty small potatoes though and indeed a niche hobby. We always have more Guests lurking the forum than active members.
