Default What is up with all the fake board users?

It used to be fairly straightforward.

XNations would get a handful of porn spammer accounts or porn bots registering every day. I'd just go in and delete them before they had a chance to make a post most of the time. They're all completely automated by someone's lame script.

Now it's a bit weird. Lot's of fake users and bots signing up with very odd signatures like Makita Tools, or tables saws. I had those today plus another one with a sig to patio furniture? Someone must think that auto-joining every VBulletin Board out there is beneficial in some way. Seems like a lot of effort to me.

Maybe it's a very complex social platform matrix study.
Or maybe just idiot spammers.
