Seeing two trends

With the armory debacle, this site getting hit with spam accounts, and a very large forum I have belong to I see a disturbing trend. Either spam accounts or back door meddling is the offense of choice. The large forum im on has been infiltrated in the background with a style similar to the spamming we saw on the armory. 

It looks like low tech and higher tech efforts are being made to mess with gun boards. They either attack in the open pages or get in the back room and mess with operations. 

I’m no computer guy so motive could be to use the site for nefarious activity or just to get the gun sites to break.  It is getting very old dealing with it to the point I have all but given up trying to add content.

I think that was both an opportunity to steal a bunch of gun owners info, and a way to mess up what they would consider right winger resistance groups. I would not at all doubt they targeted armory specifically because it was a gun board. It sure didn't help that the one person that could do something about it, and the one directly under him both basically threw their hands up and said screw it and all the guys too.
