Possible comments section bug!

I think a bug has happened that has made people commenting on a random forum appear on my comic! I've been getting bombarded with random comments that have nothing to do with my comic or seem to be answering discussion questions about random topics not related to my comic from video games to politics and religion. I think there might be a bug that makes there comments appear when they should be on the forums. I think this is so, because no one in the comments starts the discussion, they just seem like random answers to an unknown question or discussion that does not exist anywhere in my comic or in the comment section.

http://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=105545 here's the comic in question. I've tired deleting these comments but they keep coming back. I would appreciate anything that can fix this, I'm tired of deleting these comments only to come back the next day.

This isn't a bug, these are spam posts. Don't ask me why spam bots post these silly things, but I've seen them on many websites. You can either delete the comments, or report them here.

Sadly, the Admin hasn't been able to do much about spam bots so far. If they really bother you and you don't have a lot of off-site readers, you could disable Guest comments to prevent the spam.
Busy, busy.

Thanks so much! I'll report them and disable guest comments for now. Thanks a bunch.
