Did you look in your cpanel and view your stats to see who the guests are or check out the IP Addresses of the guests in your forum admin to see who they were?

They are probably bots/spammers/hackers. If you've read the news there's a lot of hacking, etc. going on across the world and mostly in our country these days, especially since after Trump let the Russians, etc. have access to our databases, polling systems to go after Hillary, etc., and probably a lot more!  He's opened a can of worms we can't stop... :banghead:

You're closing it because how old it is? Just a thought, one thing I've noticed is that bots tend to go toward the arcade a lot. Might be better if it wasn't open to gusts. But you could but up a banner or something letting people know if they join they can play.

I understand your frustration. All the bots and spammers can take the fun out of running a site.  :(
