actually frank is right, chances are the spammer didnt even see the forum or know who or what it is about.
I have made these toys before. ( purely for educational purposes
) first a harvester strips forums from google using criteria to isolate default configured versions of phpbb, at best the wm might glance at the list of forum urls.
but to answer your original question , yes thats exactly the type of site and guy someone would mess with even if they did see the site and/or his pic. Why not ? most dedicated spammers are likely more nerd than jock , and he looks more jock than nerd, when else can a nerd rip on a jock than to spam the shit out of his forum knowing he can't do shit about it . kinda like jocks do to nerds in high school
