Of more concern is the fact these spammers seem to have hibernated for almost a year before striking, how many others are out there in the thousands of inactive accounts?

That was actually me (although it looks like Erik banned the porn one before I got there, so I assume he's really busy with something). I've banned the poster and cleaned up all but the one in this thread - I wanted to leave it in just in case Erik needs it for forensics. I've not gotten involved in this previously since I don't know Erik's processes, but that one and this one seemed like they needed a quick cleanup.
On the topic of hibernation: Oh no, they're not hibernating. My email is continually spammed with "New user" requests - typically 20-30 a day. And a lot of them are from user names of the form *foops, so I assume a ton of them are from spammers. I think what's been going on is that Erik's just been REALLY good at keeping them out and/or quickly cleaning up after them. It is a bit odd that this one seems to have registered in March and then done nothing - maybe it's a case of the account getting hacked (although the "yyz" in the user name is a red flag).

Some of the accounts are really easy to identify when they register. So they never get past that stage. At the moment, I approve maybe 1-2% of the accounts that get registered. Duplicates, obvious spam, email domains like "freepr0n.com", etc are all removed.
