All cleaned up again. Some of those bot logins did look familiar. Looks like the only way to know for sure is delete 'em and see if new ones show up. I also wonder if every one of them are actually bots.

EDIT;
Maybe these are spam bot accounts already registered and need to be removed?

Could not agree more. Tight ship

I've been thinking about this, and in the Forums here we have always deleted spam and banned spam-bots. Shutting down memberships was just a move to ease the problem of deleting/banning the spam-accounts - Once done, the spam stopped.
But in Wikkis case, no one has ever banned or deleted any accounts, so there could be hundreds if not thousands of spam-bot Wikki members; this will be a problem of its own.
Might be easier/faster to delete all Wikki accounts and start over again, or just use the forum memberships instead (all Wikki posters are here anyways)- We may never see the end of Wikki spammers no matter what. One spam bot could have 50 accounts with one active (next one will pop up when you delete the first)

Deleting all accounts and starting over sounds like a good idea to me.

Yeah captcha is not going to help if the bot accounts are pre-existing.

I'm asking FNW to go ahead and delete all the current Wikki accounts , so we can just start over. I figure the ones of us who are posting Wikki data can just re-make their same account. I think this will be best, but if anyone doesn't think this is a good idea, please post now. If FNW agrees, I'll make a related anouncement.
