As I still got ways to go, for now let's see how well the countermeasures work for the Forum. I'll give it a few days to see how things work out.

Now, new Users wishing to register have to file a meaningful "Reason for registering" containing the Key Words "3dfx Archive" and something that makes sense.

That was one I wasn't sure about (registered during the Spam wave).

Anyway, now that Bot is gone

(there are like 4 or 5 remaining I'm waiting for to post spam or nonsense, then they're gone as well)

-- edit --

lol, this is actually fun, seeing all these SpamBots lining up at my entrance, waiting for the REJECT or DELETE button to be pressed *g*
