Why were so many people born today

But not yesterday?

Yesterday was like 12 people, but today is a bajillion. I assume it's because spam-bots like to register using the first of a month as their birth date.

Yeah, they're all non-accounts and should be purged, but Rev doesn't seem to take any action towards this forum..

My Mum was born today, and she is not a spam-bot. But, then, maybe my grandparents got cold in December
and snuggled into bed together!

Are you sure she's not? Monitor her internet activity just to make certain ;-)

Many of those accounts are spambots, and my moderator privileges don't allow me to delete them. I've sent an offer to RunRev to take the time to delete banned accounts if they'll give me the permissions to do so, and am awaiting their reply.

In all honesty, they might even like the fake accounts as it increases the number of users on the forums which can be used as a false metric of how many people use/are interested in LiveCode..
