Spam?

Also, out of my own perverted sense of curiosity: Why is only the Armory targeted? It's not even the most popular forum! Surely, a spammer would have more success in fooling people to click on his links if he can reach a wider audience (say in the WoW-forum). This is not meant as helpful advice to any would-be spammers who read this, but just an innocent question as to the reason for spamming a relatively sparsely frequented sub-forum.

It's my belief the spam is from bots. AFAIK (it's been 3.5 years since the last forum reregister though) there is no visual "pick the numbers from this picture" style authentication when creating a new account on Invision. You simply get a password mailed to an email address.

Very bottable. Who knows why the Armory? Maybe it's the first in a list somewhere, or the last...

I don't think it's a live person trying to put spam about unrelated things here.
