All done by a computer program at the spammers end.

They dont actually log in to any forums just exploit some known routes

1 person can set it to log in upto 100 times over a period of xx days , with a totally new account

Who does that remind you of

we had one that signed up and was then posting random messages, by using words from other replies and just regigging them
