I have a Drupal system on my web site that had about three account requests per day by spammers. I have been wondering for a few weeks what I must have changed as they have stopped coming in completely.
Similarly, I am getting very few spam emails to my various domains, too.
A glance at the news stories doesn't show up anything obvious as to why they've gone quiet.

Single individuals can have a huge effect on the spam front (see here, for instance:
'Researchers Identify Notorious Botnet Operator Codenamed "Google"'. Perhaps a prolific spammer has fallen in front of a bus. It's a happy thought, at least.

No hits on SFS or Google, but:

Profile says it all, and google reveals more. Several suspect profiles out there with the same user name.

Well he joined in 2004 and last visited in 2006!
Either he is what he seems or he's what the spooks call a 'sleeper', and if he is, that is one serious snooze.

I wouldn’t want to give away his secret identity, but you’ll note he’s

Bereft of life, he spams no more; he has rung down the curtain and joined the botnet invisible. Along with his little friend "kentt7aami", who never made it past pre-registration. And the sunblind-flogging domain from whence they took their emails has been banned.
