So... WTF is with all the spam lately?

It's been 2 or 3 nights in a row that OT is overflowing with spammers. Thanks to the mods for all the hard work... but what is with that? Why now?

thanks,

It is just a little annoying, isn't it?

I don't think that the spammers are likely to answer your question.

Bwah ha ha ha! We have a spam filter that catches 99% of it. Be happy that's in place.

Oh, I know. More like me griping about it. I agree with Fru that it is incredibly annoying; and PC, I was aware of the spam filter - but are these new accounts bots or actual people signing up to make spamming accounts? I dunno, I'm just curious about this recent surge of spammers getting into EN World, is all.

cheers,
