At 1:00 a.m., I cleaned out a bunch of different registration attempts. By 8:00 a.m., I had 24 sitting in my queue.

I don't get it. Is getting a spam message across to a few people on a forum, or gaining control of your board, that profitable? Seems likes a lot more trouble than it's worth. How exactly do these guys make a profit? Clearly when they do get through on a forum, their message is some nonsensical garbage that is immediately recognized as spam.
