I have deleted 20 in the past hour, but only one has managed to post.

Our defences seem to be down, is this another game from "you know who".

Looks like there will be a pile of crap to delete in the morning as I am obviously not staying up all night to watch it.

Loads of rubbish to clean up this morning so I have changed the user registration settings to admin only. So joining will be disrupted for a while until we get a more robust block for spammers getting access to the site.

Somehow they make money from it, but I really don't' know how. You would have to be bonkers to click on any of the links.
