Yep, seeing the same junk on my end too. Not even bothering to read the bios anymore, it’s the same dumb pattern over and over. If it was just a couple signups I’d shrug, but when the link posts start showing up in batches like that, it’s usually some botnet or a recycled list getting hammered through a weak spot. Honestly I’d be looking at whatever signup/plugin stack you’ve got first. Half the time it’s not “the forum got targeted” so much as some stale registration path or anti-spam plugin that stopped doing its job after an update. Seen that a few times and it’s always annoying as hell. If it keeps coming back every few hours, it’s kinda not random.
