About a zillion of them were registered in the past few days. No posts. Is this someone's idea of a joke I'm not getting or do they actually expect to sell them?

I guess at least some part of their intention is spamming their web URL. Because those accounts are the first alphabetically they appear as soon as ' MEMBERS' is clicked. And guess what, their Website appears right there. Considering there are 510,000+ users now I really think nobody cares about the list of users sorted alphabetically. IMO ' search for members' should appear when MEMBERS is clicked instead. The list of users should be a secondary option. That would save a click most of the times and would discourage people from creating spam accounts just to be first on the list.

It's obviously an ARG. All the numbers add up to 4, and it's an arrow pointing to an l. Which makes it 4L. First google result for that is a south korean girl band, and this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XwJU_SSqTY), which features women kissing. So obviously part of the recent LGBT movement. Crafty. Video will require further study for clues.

That would put most people right off their website straight away. I mean who would actually say "oh look a spammer let's check out their website."

Probably to book all possible combinations of account names to sell them in the future. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Always wondered why Google had every email id I could think of already taken... btw, which idiot would name himself "ndnhc" ??

I believe that it also helps with SEO, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think putting their website in an account's signature or profile counts as a backlink.

I cannot understand that so many accounts were created and there are no activities at all since then. If there are no posts in 14 days periods, no potential activites at all. The accounts should be worthless. Why not just delete these dormant accounts without activites? We could set a period for these accounts!

They dont do it in the hope that someone clicks the link. Thats a lower reason only. They mostly do it to rise in serps (search engine result pages. The higher you are placed the exponentially more traffic you get. Which means visitors, which means money. They most probably used some spam tool like xrumer or other tools. There are various out there. Its really only automated email creation, and automated account creation in order to place the backlink in the profile page. Bitcointalk could avoid these spammers by allowing to add your url only after you showed you are a real member. All profiles that didnt even make a post and have a url can be deleted too. They only have one purpose.

I don't think theymos will remove those accounts unless it is absolutely necessary. and those accounts probably got permabanned already so their IPs should have some units of evil allocated into them. they'll have to pay a small fee if they want to make a new account.
no never mind, I just tried it with Tor and it looks like it only restrict posting and not registration

Those account owners will never pay anything. Its not worth for them. They created these accounts with lists of proxies anyway. The forum cant identify when they come back and try to create accounts. These softwares can create different user agents and what you can think of. Its impossible to block except you implement some rule like "no profile linke until out of newbie cage" or so.
