CAPTCHA's installed to STOPTCHA the spammertchas. ;P

Hola. We've installed captcha's for the sign-up and contact forms here and it looks like I was just in the nick of time with that, since it prevented about 300 signups just yesterday. What can I say, spammers dig us.
This is also why I delete all users that never log in. It's either a spammer, or someone who's simply misspelled their email - I see gmali.com or gmaill.com's pretty often. In a few cases it might be a real person with a correct email who's just not logged in for whatever reason, perhaps the confirmation email from us got stuck in their spambox. Either way, we inform about this in the FAQ now, and if you don't log in within a week or so your account will be deleted. Keep in mind, we're talking never logged in, log in once and you're safe.
We'll probably have fewer never logged in accounts now that captcha's are preventing spambots from signing up, I just thought I'd give you a heads up. Cheers.
