What the..?

When I looked at "Who's Online", I saw that we have an influx of guests attempting to post in one section, a failed spam attack I'd infer.
Anyway, I got a screenshot.

How can you doubt a spam attack when several guests are trying to post in one area at the same time.
If it's not a spam attack, it's a pretty freaking large coincidence.

Also, yeah, I like that song, XD.

The band for me.

Well, they haven't joined, maybe it was a group of friends just "checking" out the website. MAYBE. They didn't join, so I guess no harm has been done.

I didn't know that guests could post in a section other than the Anonymous Board or Site Announcements. When I was a guest, I never got the post option except in those two boards.

Well, it'll say that they're posting because they're attempting to.
They can't post there, and it tells them that when they try to post something.

I'm going to log out and see for myself.

Nope. There was no "Post" option.

Oh, well, I was going on assumption anyway.

Hmm… Tommy might be right, but it might be safer to put up, if possible, a safeguard to throw off spambots. Btw- Might there be another fan of chao in the audience?

Chao? The Sonic Chao things?

Guests and whatnot already cannot post, there's already a safeguard in place.

Two: That's true, but there's still the anonymous board.

It says that they were posting in the Emulation section, though.
[offtopic]I think one of the guests had the IP of my old desktop.[/offtopic]

EDIT: It's happening again now, but smaller. This time it was four guests posting in the Emulation section.
