I think that spammers use the chat box as a way to send out information to others and that the site may be used at times for some backdoor financial activities originating overseas which would account for much of the extra activity (I have noticed much of the sudden influx and exit of "members" is in chat). I think what I do about financial sales because of some of the "member" names used in the past by a few of these spammers and/or hackers. Some have even left messages on the site advertising gold/other investments, most of which have been removed. I would suspect much of this activity could come out of communist China (some of the messages had a definite sound of Chinese person trying to write English style--why at one time I tried to get others here to suspect that a person claiming to be a TCM medicine guy might not be all he claimed to be), but there are lots of spammers/hackers everywhere who will take every opportunity to high jack a website. I do not know why not very much seems to have been done about it lately.
