Thanks for the update Roman, both of those spambots have been banned.

As for why the influx, usual answer is because they're spambots and can create as many multiple accounts as their robot programs can generate.
Another factor is that since they don't usually post any spam, I'm left unable to ban the jerks whose names end in "alex" or "toro" or "zoro" or "juriya" or even the resurgence of the ones whose names end in "jibond". So those tend to proliferate during the early morning hours here at the forums. Only when they actually do post spam am I able to delete their accounts.

All of those spambots were already deleted while being reported, but thanks for your help in spotting them.

Both of those spambots have been dealt with.

Something to note is a new developing trend where these spambots are registering accounts under the names of recognized celebrities. So far we've had Niki Minaj, Emma Watson, and now Jerry Garcia. If other such examples are spotted please make sure they're spambots before reporting them, though I'll be able to tell if they're spambots given their bogus member information.
