Yeah, I noticed that.. I grabbed those from the bbpress CP, then after I had 
sent the email through the list.. left the CP for a few minutes.. went back 
in, there was already 2 more, that had registered. =(

I figured, I'd leave it alone.. after one of the Admins had seen those from 
this email.. they'd catch on prolly.. ;) =)  See.. it worked.. =P

>Have these accounts been hitting the forums also?

As far as I know, they haven't. There hasn't been too many replies, to forum 
threads lately.. I'm trying to keep an eye on things.. while handling these 
Installs here, but.. I could have overlooked something though.. =/

Yeah, I agree. I went in to the CP for the 
http://wordpress.org/support/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=bb_ksd_admin_page

To see if some were being flagged as spam, there seemed to be some in there, 
that might have been automatically flagged as spam, but when reading the 
threads.. "they" didn't appear to be spam.. so, I'm not really sure about 
that.. =/

Of course, neither of those real spammer profiles/threads wound up there 
though.. so, it's totally mind boggling as to what's going on? =/

Someone does.. seriously, need to check this stuff out though.. ;) =)
