Noticing a recent person who joined, they have one of those spammer-style names.

I wonder if it shall come to pass...

It's just a funny theory.

I PM'd myself the last page of new members and I will check the theory later. Obviously, a few have already posted so it's safe to say they are not.

Noticing a recent person who joined, they have one of those spammer-style names.After about 10,000 members, most of the normal sounding names are already taken.

Look at huge sites like Google & Yahoo. Pretty much anything you type that doesn't have something random in it, is already taken. I wouldn't be surprised if even "PedoBear4U" is already in use by someone on Google & Yahoo.
