Is it me, or has there been a huge increase in the spam and other bo\\ox posts since Christmas?

Rather ironic considering the worldwide level of spam has dropped significantly in the last month...
BBC News - Global spam e-mail levels suddenly fall

Huge increase here. It must be that they have all come here, instead of where ever they get the statistics from....
