That’s what the Forum Home page states, and I see there are alot of screen names currently “online”.

Are we about to get a huge influx of SPAM posts?

It is not necessary to create sock puppets to deal with you, this is the only name I post under here.

(180,000 of those are sock puppets for Hardy, Hick & Troll.)

Please be informed that I
post under only one name,
and that is Hardy Parkerson.

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson

I’m going to call BS on that.  Who else remembers “Dr. Molly House”?

Today’s count is 188588. That’s 1272 new members in two days. If the admin doesn’t start to clean those out, we’re going to get overrun with spam.

Wow, now up to 188664- that’s 76 new members in just the last 2 hours.

The National and Louisiana Politics Forums are being moderated since that is where most of the complaints have originated.  We will moderate the sports and other topics more closely and ban the spam accounts that are posting there.  The site has a captcha to prevent SPAM accounts and we are checking it now to determine how spam is getting through. 

Activity on the site is higher than it has been in some time on both the home page and in the forums, but we will make every effort to delete spam or inappropriate posts.

Thank you Mr. Moderator

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.” - Robert Heinlein

Current member count is now 189251- that’s 587 new registered members in the last 12 hours.  Apparently the spammers have found a way around the captcha.

Less than 12 hours later and we’re up to 189940 registered members.

At this point I see only two possible explanations:

(1) Spammers have targeted politicsla.com as a good spot to sell their knock-off shoes and purses

or

(2) .Ray is building a sock puppet army.

Isn’t this website somehow connected to other forums?  If so, perhaps the registration total is picking up people who are registering for those other forums.

That, plus spammers and bots.
