Yes, I modified the registration process adding a captcha, which should shut down new spam account registrations, but I haven't had a chance to go through and look at all of the new accounts that were created and did not yet post. The way these things typically work is a bunch of new accounts are created at once, but many remain dormant at first, and then later are used to spam the boards. So even though I wiped all the spam posted the other day, it isn't stopping these dormant accounts from becoming active and doing it again.
Which is exactly what you are seeing now.
I'll get it fixed, it will just take a little work one of these nights.
