Looks like a spam bot got on the boards and PMed at least two people. The bot's name was mama4me, so if you've received anything from this user, go ahead and delete it.
The user has been banned. If we get anymore, I'll look into modifying our captcha.

I bet it was one of those manual ones that you have to weed out manually. Thanks for taking care of it Derian. You are doing a great job.

Those are just search engine crawlers indexing the boards.
phpBB3 recognizes them and shows them as a 'user' online.
