I just saw this too. "Most users ever online was 4,538, 02-25-2023 at 11:26 PM." Must have been a busy day that day

I have spoken the technical support provider. Each user email is @spytostyle.com. Usually the get caught in and put in "awaiting confirmation email " and never get registered. The way this works is they need to check a box to confirm it's not a software generated (BOT) and this catches the majority. Lately they are actually registering, which is a real issue.

I will keep you posted...

When you go in to all their usernames, they all link back to the same Base Camp Trek website

Spammers

As I mentioned some are becoming Registered Member and that concerns me. The screen shot shows all these James online, however they are not registered and have no ability to post, pm and not members. They sit in a inactive group.

I attached a screen shot of status of jamesmoy. He's
in the inactive "users awaiting email confirmation " group.

Seems like they are getting more advanced on hacking into sites. I saw the list and just wanted to post it up in case someone had a future dealing with them they might realize, “Hey? Isn’t that one of the seven-hundred that registered the other day with the same name minus a digit?:hmmm:”.

Thanks for the work on this site, Steve!:biggthumpup:
