I figure the Asian-language spam posts totaled around 8500, most posted during the western U.S. night/early morning hours. The onslaught occurred this weekend into Monday morning. All of it came from eleven new "registered users". It was quite a mess.
It's happened before but this might have been the biggest dump.
