Re: Spam Bots on Forum
Unless you have a really large team, do you even need a forum on your website? I used to have a forum on the site when I did the site for 696 and it never got used, and yes it got hit by spammers. None of them actually posted but they would register and have a link to their site in their profile.

To stop robots from registering, enable image verification. And e-mail verification probably isn't a bad idea either.

btw, I think the logo in the top left is very trick!
