I clicked search new posts and got 225 hits.
I did not even look at one of them.

Yes, it would appear so. I have no idea why anyone would do that, though.

It looked like a bot attack.
When I have signed up for other forums, they asked, a question a bot could not answer, and the answer needed to be correct to continue the signup process.
It was stupid questions like "On a clear day, what color is the sky?" "What dose one plus one equal?"etc.
Edit : The answer to question could also be a mandatory thing like the email during signup.

we have chapta, but somehow it was not able to stop this attack - that is also being looked at :)
And you right - definitely a bot

There's another one in the Off Topic forum.
They do this because they have absolutely nothing better to do with their time and their computers.

It's gotten worse. I can't find threads because the spam threads are clogging up the whole forum.
