The site has been getting a large amount of spam recently. Jon has been looking into it.

It mostly comes from China, but some is from Russia.

I don't think they're bots - to sign up to the site you have to type in a random number from an image, then follow a link in an e-mail. I set this up when I noticed a lot of new users with odd e-mail addresses and 'dodgy' websites!
