    How long did it take to get 14k members!? You may want to make sure these are ACTIVE members and not a bunch xrumer SPAM accounts

    100% spam bots. I had same problem with them and had do disable registration for awhile on my sites' forums. Those bogus so-called members worse nothing, unless they actively communicate with each other and create meaningful unique posts to your forum :)

    i disable ability to post, if these are all spam bots, i can only image what they'd post... they'd spam each other :))
