See http://www.angrytalkingskull.com/baos/memberlist.php and sort it descending by join date.... that's what we admins had to deal with every day :) (average 6-8 spam bots signing on every day). Place your bets on how long it'll take for those bots to make their way over here.

I'm going to say 1 week from now, 16 June 2008 is when we'll get our first spam post

The bots are indeed coming... it's either that or we have players from Israel, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam :) (watching site statistics via Google Analytics.. very fun little thing to watch.. we're around 150-200 visits a day

August Third. Because it sounds like a good time for spam bots to duplicate themselves. :lol:

On another board that I moderate I deal w/ about ~10 spam accounts/day, and had a grand total of almost 40 one day. Its insane to deal w/ when you have public forums, which has caused us to almost remove them completely from the public arena. That board is an older version of phpBB (2.x), and I've heard the new one is much better comparatively for controlling spammers...but that's just hearsay.
