Seems there were quite a few of those fake members (their email adress is non-existant), so I deleted them all and am waiting for the ip to be used again in order to put a ban on it.

Okay, there's a small problem, that probably only Dr. Leospace can repair. These fake users only register, but never access the account, which prevents their IP from showing up in my data. These users will probably be deleted after x days because they didn't respond to their activation email (if there is any). I'll let the Dr. know and see what we can do about it.

It should be that they cant even be registered untill they reply to an email from El comandante or Birth_control so that at least they must use an existing email adress . There should also be a log wich should also show all the IP adresses that are used for each registration . BUT IP bans dont work as , for instance i get a new one every time i turn my compouter on and people can use a proxy .
I tried the one web adress and it redirected me to a site called amoxycillin and all my browser or security system would show me was a blank page .

I used to be a freelance black-hat hacker back in the day.
Not like I was big or anything. I initially started doing it for fun and programming virii in a couple languages, then people started paying me, then I stopped because the protocols had evolved so much. I couldn't keep up.
I remember this one guy I was paid to scout out his girlfriend at the time.
I'll never forget the sick shit I saw.
I had visual screenshots of his desktop screen, basically whatever he was looking at I was looking at in real-time.
I saw tons of kiddie porn on his computer, not to mention some other absolutely disgusting things I rather not get into.
I hardly ever destroyed anything. It was the one rule I tried to obey...most of the time at least.
So yeah, the internet is full of creepers. I just use a firewall because I'm lazy.

First off- Im a hypocrite- I really don't give a damn about some script kiddy or even the vlads/romos...and if THE MAN wants you- sorry- but your fucked- there is simply no way to protect yourself at that point except unplugging your computer, tossing your cell, etc etc. As a grey hat who has worked with both major corporations and governments- everything you do or say electronically IS compromised!
But- if you are concerned about the script kiddy or the latest botnet- the basics:
don't use windows
use Tor or jap (or both) for a proxy- then funnel through any of the web based proxy services (of course- you WILL slow to a crawl)
Use gmail or fastmail. that don't transmit your IP (or even god forbid- AOL which shows the same IP for everyone)
NEVER click a link on a website
NEVER click a link on an email and never even open an email unless your 99.9% sure its from a friend
DON"T use HUSHMAIL -use the open source pgp with your own email client
use a hardware based firewall such as smoothwall- linkys and the like ARE compromised
never,ever use your home connection- go to the library, a cafe, or just wardrive- but if your using wifi never use a computer that can be traced to you.
don't ever think your antivirus will protect you- I've got a drive full of programs, some years old, that still slip by the best.
Don't ever post your real name/pic,address on line. Don't use social networking sites like myspace,twitter,etc, don't use the same user name on multiple forums, don't even use the same writing styles/tell the same stories...
Never use a real credit card online. Don't use paypal.
the good- kapersky and avast are very good antivirus tools- and avasts free
smoothwall is free (requires a dedicated box)
blackberrys encryption is still unbreakable
pgp is still unbreakable
big brother really doesn't give a rats ass about you- BUT- if you come in their scope for some reason...well- game over
I could go on and on.
