create account generator

Post by ecocentral » Sun Jan 23, 2011 11:52 pm

I have over 500 registered users, none that have real names. Some have returned to the site but none reply to email. It seems like some bot is visiting the site about 3 times a day and generating a new registered user each time All the email addresses seem good in that they do not generate mail delivery errors. None reply to email. Anyone got any ideas what this is all about?
Names are like below.
