Huge Spike in Guests on Board

[hunter22375]

I read the article and, for the most part, have an idea of what I had an idea of what it was saying. What my question then becomes is, why aren't all these new fake members showing up in vB or my third party member management system? Because regardless if a member fails to confirm their email because they provided a bogus one, their screen name still shows up and they get added to the total member amount.....which has not changed along with the hundreds of undeliverable emails I have been receiving.
