Not really Mike. It only happens in forums where the spammers know they can attack. They pick their targets. Very seldom are they random. And the problem is not necessarily the spammers, but the fact that their spam is left to decay the forum, because Bill and the team don't give a shit. Honestly, I expect to see the same start happening at TWCC.
Oh wait, it already is happening. The spammers go by the names of stephon_d_watson, Lightning, and lamarr.
