footnote:

This bot has a 'callsign': panorama54321
and is, or has been, active on over 600 forums:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=panorama54321&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

Picking a result at random, and looking up the thread gave a post listing more servers:

hxxp://www.peppapot.com/chatbout/index.php?showforum=4

Taking down these posts and servers will need a team effort.
