Now I feel even specialer with member number 1,196 :P

I've been a member for nearly three years, and there have been ~24000 new members since me, so that's about 24 spam accounts per day?!

Man! I guess the real robot war was happening in our registration system. You've gotta give them credit though, these bots know quality.
