New members?
Has anyone noticed that there are loads of new members with 0 posts who have recently joined and the user names seem to be random letters and
numbers?
Could this be a robot issue?
A bird in the hand....

Keep wondering if they're scouting profiles to gather personal info I.e. emails for spamming

You can always hide your e-mail address in you profile if it worries you.

I know, to be honest not that worried, have good spam filters, just have to wonder why there are about 3,000 new users in the past couple of months
with senseless i.d's that don't seem to get involved!

Unless of course, more 'members' (and more membership) makes it easier to sell the website for a larger fee, if it were being sold...

There was until the server move. I guess the equipment used to do it remains at ChrisW's old company.
