Are these robots?

[Giant Communist Robot]

...you know, Doris**** and fghi***? I have never seen a post made by these two that relate to the subject of the thread. They only tout some other sites. It doesn't look like they have any interest in what goes on here or any desire to contribute anything.

Oh! And Armory****!

You forgot to mention Armory1472.

I commented on them earlier on another thread. Three of them appeared yesterday, with the same posting traits: They revived old threads that hadn't been used for some time, and they posted nonsensical posts loaded with links. The threads they chose seem to be random. I was looking for a common theme or keyword or creation date that might have lead to their choice, but so far have found none.

I believe they are bots. Could they be a manifestation of the 'conficker worm'?
