Do we need to change passwords?

Why do you keep thinking the forum was hacked?? Its just several spammers that signed up normally to the site, got past spam filters which happens all the time and post crap posts. The forum was NOT hacked so no need to worry.

I've always wondered what these spammers have to gain by doing this?

Adding their links to a popular site to better their SEO. For years if the site didn't remove the link, eventually the site that they linked within the spam post would get better rankings due to the site they posted on having high ranks in search engines.

I have no idea why they continue to try this as Google/Bing/Yahoo have figured out what they were doing a few years ago and have put a stop to it, where the sites will never rank. Yet, still they keep coming, which make zero sense to me.
