I've managed to prune and delete most of the spambot accounts.
They were all registered on the same date 16th Feb around the same 4 AM time. (Apologies if a legit member registered on this date!)
These multiple spam accounts registering on our board are not hackers and the site has not been hacked.
I've also changed the Spambot counter-measure questions for registering new accounts.
Hopefully it stops them for a while.
Please just PM me if it happens again!

I heard a rumour that it was your Instagram account that caused this. Sorry but not a pretty sight

I got one them, but they’ve been removed before I seen the name. Wonder if it was naked fish...
