Take a look at the "Members Online Today". I had to disable a couple of things for testing recently and that included filtering out spammers. Just take a look at how many had signed up over a 12 hour period and we've had twice as many users online in quite a while. Jeez.

Thanks to shadowshiv for reminding me. You can select the Halloween theme from the "Settings" menu beside the search box!
