I logged on just now to see 80 guests on the forum and members whose names appeared to be random letters!
Are they scammers or have we some new members with weird names?

The Guests are anyone viewing the site who hasn't registered for an account yet, we have lots of people who read the site and don't post.

The funny names are auto generated spam accounts, we delete them all it just takes time. They'd like to be spammers but they can't (system software defeats 99.9%)

I'm working on them not appearing in the online list. They will still be there, you'll just never seen them.  :)
