Anyone ever notice, we get like one or two new members a day, I see them in the "welcome to our newest member" thingy at the bottom of the page.
Most of them never post and if you notice, the user names follow a pattern. "jakethon4543" or "mindzombo22" or "nomrodal9812".
Who are these people?

I dunno, but for what purpose?
Spam?
Spiders troll all the $#@! we post and catalog it for our gubmint's pleasure but what would creating all these accounts be for?

Yeah, but we don't get spammed much.
So we get a dozen or more of these new accounts every week but rarely get any spam.

maybe they're apprentices?
more likely it's people who join and lurk

Don't you find the stark similarities in the usernames odd? Pretty much every one of them follows that pattern. "weirdnameNNN"
