12 guest posting a message in the forum?

I have noticed that there have been a new record in the amount of people connected to the forum at the same time. It was not beaten since 2005.
The curious thing is that I have had a look to "Who's on line" and there were 12 guest posting a message more or less at the same time...

How could it be possible? If they are guest how can post a message. Even if they were members that have posted a message 5 minutes ago then I have not seen any new post in the forum since a while ago... Are they talking each other? If so they should be registered.... Strange.

Hm... 12 real flesh and blood guests posting at the same time, in this forum? Well, maybe... but I don't think so...

...more likely it's just spam robots trying to get through whatever spam defense Lostmarble has installed here... :|

So we still have to break that old record from 2005 ! :)

Yes probably spam bots.

I have deleted a handful of posts recently that have gotten through. They appear to be Russian language spammers.

They are probably testing out new methods to break the spam blocking.
