Hi Scott not sure if you're aware but you can get "mods" for the PHPBB forums to stop the spambots. I installed one on my boards and haven't had any spambots since.

I use the "AntiBot Question" one! Very Happy

hi Crunchie, thanks for the link, we now have the 'Are you human' mod, this has cut down loads of spammers (actually 99% of actual bots), we now have actual Paid human spammers. I think the only way around this is to add a mod that prevents new members posting links until they hit a post count target, of course the downside is many members post up helpful links to peoples threads and many would not of hit the target.
