This has been happening off and on for a few weeks now. The GS staff and mods are well aware of this and have been blocking it accordingly. Its just a bot spamming a list of forums.

It will continue to happen. That's the nature of spam, unfortunately. The GS Staff have taken steps to lessen the amount -- such as Vanilla Forums will allow -- and we moderators are always watching for spam... except when we're sleeping.

Spam bots. I think GS need some mods who work GMT!
@FallingBoxStudios Somebody flooding? More than one name though. I'm afraid to open one of them lol.
This is all that's inside.

@jonmulcahy @tatiang thanks for the insight, guys.
@jonmulcahy Hey, it's happening again

Lol!
yea it's a pita
Someone needs to make a bot to spam delete the spam bots.
That's known as a Singularity event.
wasn't there talk of adding a CAPTCHA to the registration field? Maybe there already is one?
As I have already commented to @tatiang, electrodes placed in strategic positions would be very beneficial. >:)
There is a CAPTCHA in place, but they're crafty little bots
@dgackey Sorry if I'm being annoying. But it's happening again, and it's covered the whole first page of the forum.
They are well aware, i brought up on jan or feb meet-up. Their web staff is doing what they can to stop it.
I woke up looked at forms
I know; I'm telling them that it has happened again just in case they have not seen it.
@tatiang can sense when its happening, even when he sleeps.
I noticed it this morning and @ForumNinja took care of it
@BlackCloakGS Glad to hear it.
I'll stop posting about it now...
