Weird Members

I've noticed here that there are a lot of people who don't have any posts, and it's just weird. Why do they do that?

It's because they were wearing Seru when the Mist appeared. They got turned into monsters, and now are locked in Drake Castle.

…Just kidding. :P

There are a lot of people like them in most forums. There are many reasons why one does that.

They're just bots. They hack into forums, saying they 'human' then they do nothing.

No, they could simply be humans who registered and then had nothing to post. I can recognize many names off the memberlist.

Half no clue, my friends are still there, inactive as normal, my forums goes on the 1st of March, it's so badly inactive. Nothing to post? Why join if your not gonna post? Half of the forums I'm on are so badly inactive, I can tell if it's a Human, by their avatars, info in their profile if nothing is there like on TeamRocketsRockin', they're bots.

Bots have links to porn, casino, etc. sites in their profiles and also attempt to spam links. We have a registration system that helps block bots from registering.

Wish I had something like that on my newish forums, I work hard yet no one turns up, forums I run I put things up others want, and they're still not happy they go inactive then thats it. Would be nice to keep bots out of my forums but no such luck

How damn stubborn can you get?

Just because they haven't posted yet DOES NOT MAKE THEM BOTS.

Case closed. Thread closed.
