I am annoyed too, I go to the link Show unread posts since last visit, And it is up to over 50 pages now.

It appears to be from mainly 1 account. Sometimes from a second but the vast majority is from the same account. Is Rad listening. Why can't they delete the account?

I reported it to the mods as I'm sure others have too.  Maybe they are all out riding their bikes....

When I go to General Chat it's all in Chinese. Who is this babi2004 with 4278 posts... Looks like their account needs to be deleted.

Rad doesn't run this message board.

It's run by one dude, who's got a very busy youtube channel, and while I'm sure this board is important to him, I'm equally as sure it's not his priority.

This happened early this morning. I'm sure Ryan will take care of it. This Forum isn't going anywhere.

RAD listens' to this group, does not own or run it.  The admin had a very public face, in the e-bike world.  I forget who.

This is generic "Forum" software that can be run from any webserver.  It's a "wordpress" kind of too. 

anyone can use it, anyone can hack it... it's sad!  As a retired IT Systems & Network Engineer, I kept the servers running...and the software running on them.  I didn't write or maintain the front ends.  I hope it goes away.

I'd say getting the Simple Machines Forum software up to date is a good start, I expect the captcha solution has improved a bit since the last update
