I add questions periodically. If I think of something and I've got the time, I'll add it. I've got somewhere around 40 at this point.

I too have been busy cleaning out a few sites lately from attacks..

Some clever people out there designing these bots, i would think they could make some real money putting their efforts into something constructive.

They actually make good money by spamming- otherwise they wouldn't be wasting their time. It amazes me people continue to "fall for" or "buy" things that are spammed... as long as the market remains, so will the spammers.

Its not always a case of people "falling for it" - sometimes the items are actually useful or something people want. I can think of at least two things i have bought that I origianlly saw in a spam post on our forum.
