Is it spam or something going around but I notice that everyone online now or whatever it may be it has like full names and then 1986 or 1987 after there name I just find this extremely odd does anyone else notice this or just me, I think it might be a spam or virus of some sort

its probably because when you choose a name thats already taken on most places it puts your firstname, lastname and the year you were born together.
lulz.

it's obvious someone is messing with the site. I doubt the admins of the site would want to create thousands of fake accounts but its' been done.

I havent searched the male side, but you can identify all the fake accounts on the female end looks like in many states/cities, just do a search everyones name ends with like 1983-1987 etc... and all their options are the same (religion, height, children, etc...)

Some even have an age in their profile text that is dif than their profile says their age is. Oh and all the females are "extremely" good looking for the most part.

That being said, who has a good theory?
I'm thinking malicious attack from competitors site/bored haxor?

Noticed that, made more conspicuous by the absence of any other kind of name. Note that none of the posters to this thread have such names.
