Unhappy Sign-ins with first letter "R"

There has been a suspiciously LARGE number of sign-ins (in the last 24 hours) that begin with the letter "R". So many that I suspect they were created by the same person/entity. I think you should investigate this, Ziroc. (why would anyone create this many accounts?)

I've noticed it before, lots of bots sign up. They go alphabetically, and you can tell by their profile page that they're bots.

Yeah, they can create accounts, but I have to manually approve them to post and have ANY forum rights.. This current software doesn't have enough anti-bot protection..

I've been looking into the latest UBB, and when I have time and learn all aspects of it--make sure it'll import everything, then I'll upgrade . I'm moving the server HD to an NVME drive too, so loading speed will be massively faster.

It'll also work and look perfect with mobile phones (layout). It costs more-the new version is so new, I'd have to pay full price--which is fine. Just that the back pain has been getting worse more days than not, but I do have blocks of time where its better and I try to get everything crammed into those days/weeks!!
