OK, there has been a massive influx of validating members in the last few days. None are seeming to become real members as there are about 200 just sitting there and all very new. Is this an attack? Or bots? Is the software going to get an update to deal with them?

Nah, just noticed tons, mentioned it to AJ and then waited while you lot had a cup of tea and a discussion (possibly over scones). Then I got bored and decided to see if nudging worked. Amazingly it does :P

MR. Sugar and Merry Mac (not sure if written correctly) aren't bots, apart from them, I've got no idea.

As long as the dark foundation of our nature, grim in its all-encompassing egoism, mad in its drive to make that egoism into reality, to devour everything and to define everything by itself, as long as that foundation is visible, as long as this truly original sin exists within us, we have no business here and there is no logical answer to our existence.
Imagine a group of people who are all blind, deaf and slightly demented and suddenly someone in the crowd asks, "What are we to do?"... The only possible answer is, "Look for a cure". Until you are cured, there is nothing you can do.
And since you don't believe you are sick, there can be no cure.

This would explain why I've seen so many bots over on Revora.
