Which new members are you referring to? I suspect most people who visited will visit again as it was a temporary issue.

I think it was a joke.

Wait what

what you said.

I thought GenTheThief was serious when he posted that

A shame. It appears that the massive influx of new members who were definitely all real people were driven away from the spam attack that we suffered this week. Hopefully our numbers can recover and we can make it back over that 50k member mark!

didn't pay attention though

'twas a joke

I thought bolding and saying "definitely real people" (an adjectival phrase not usually necessary for humans), I would imply that the 8,000 new members were in fact all bots, and I was simply celebrating that the bots had been removed and the member count had been restored to its former uninflated amount.

Ummmm, no, that’s a legit account. He just hasn’t been on the forums for a while. It’s just @DerpBoiMoon.

Sounds like someone who took a single intro to computer security class and thinks they are a 'leet hacker'

It's the person behind the bot attacks, I think that's fairly obvious. It sound like they are threatening to make new users even with the registration option closed. I don't know why they messaged you with their exact plans, that seems like a fairly dumb thing for a "hacker" to do.

Try messaging them asking who they are and what their motivations behind these things are. Probably won't work but it's worth a shot now that we have communication with them.

TBH, I think they're bluffing.

Why would they tell you for you to tell others about the bot attack? It just seems too obvious and strange, for the real spammer to give away their plans.
