Hi to everyone here.. I've just joined you
I help run a website of 3yrs with 71,000 members and i stopped using captcha and replaced it with a simple question for new members to answer.. Together with a list of known spam email addresses and Ip's we now get no spam at all bar the odd member from china joining just to advertise their stuff..
I also restricted usernames to a max of 10 characters because i noticed spambots tended to use 11.. Result.. no spambots..
