Hi all,
I just had a look at our Google search console, and realized that there are a lot of links to our forum registration pages. It's 28500 links in total, from just 3 domains!
That happens to us too. One spammy site linked to our "FAQ" 30,000 times and was running their own phpbb forum, but for some reason cloned and used our site's "FAQ" page. Weird.
After years of noticing this we've established that these shitty domains are temporary, spammy sites and will disappear after a while.
If you want, just disavow their domain in Google Search Console but I wouldn't worry too much about it as it happens here and there.
