    well don't blame them too much - if you'd ever been on the wrong end of a forum spam attack, it's no joke.

    At one point about 4 years ago, there were 6 of us in different timezones around the world spending several hours a day each, just removing spam from slinging.org.

    I switched from self sign up to manual sign up by a human being (me), when the animal porn started up - and we haven't had a single spam post since.
    Takes me five minutes a day - at most - to sign in new users.

    But once a particular spam bot latches onto your forum signup and breaks the 'security' - you are totally stuffed.

    I don't envy whoever runs the micro3d forum - but they do have my deepest sympathy.
