Paiptusepalse and others

In case you haven't noticed, that name " Paiptusepalse " is apparently our newest registered user.

All sorts of weird and wonderful names turn up in that "newest registered user" field, and then they seem to vanish again fairly shortly. Do they just change their minds, are they "wind ups" or is there some other reason?

They're mostly advertising porn, a few are booby trapped links and a fair view are hoping to boost their google rankings by getting linked to from as many websites as possible.

I spend more time on the internet looking after the member list on this forum than doing anything else...

Thanks Jules

It drives me potty, but the results are worth it. And at the moment I'm just the janitor, you lot are the ones making it all work, so thanks go to you lot, not me!
