I wonder why this board is so prone to "visitors"? Many other forums use versions of vBulletin with no problems.

I was going to reply and say that 10 visitors/guests is not in itself suspicious for an active forum, as I 'visit' many before joining only a few.

However 10 all trying to join this forum at the moment does invoke some of concerns that this thread seems to raising about motives and impact.

Anyone been PM'ed by our current newest member (marked-for-death) ?

I was, and deleted the message unopened.

I would like to see some valid posts from this BB member before I consider opening any PM contact.

No problems.

I must admit that I found the user name somewhat disconcerting, and this is what activated my radar.

If any other BB members have similar happen to them would you suggest that they contact you via the email link on your profile ?

Cheers
Chris

There seem to be a few new registrations recently with strange user names.
