Yes, we are getting spammed on a regular basis. Anyway, thanks to those who point out the spam posts. Now It seems the spammers are going into high gear and expect a lot UNTIL we solve the problem.
I'm working with Attila, who is helping me with this problem, for a fix which should be coming soon. Right now about 1/2 the 409 users are SPAMMERs. I'll be deleting them soon also as soon as we lock down the registration function to legit users.
Thanks for those, eg. itchy, who have been pointing out the SPAM posts all along.

You did follow all posts? 
Wow, so here's the answer:
I'm just testing one module of the new anti-spam features we did build in the forum, and in order to do so I needed to make a new user with some posts, and that's all already.
And yes, it seems to work. We should block off spam bots now, which register new users just to post their web site address here, and get a free link. So far it seems to work, and regular users can still post a web address and a signature, just not new users when they register.
Boss, feel free to delete my test posts, the cutt off limit is working.
