I'm on a few forums, and the spam attacks go in waves. CD isn't the worst, but it also isn't the best.

It depends on whether the spammers are computers or not. If the vbulletin captcha had been broken, I'd expect many more spammers, not only here but on other vbulletin forums. There is also the NoSpam! verification question which asks FIRST related information. It's unlikely someone would program a computer to break just CD's questions.
That makes me think these are actual humans doing the spamming (or at least the registering), and makes an enhanced registration system much more difficult.
I think it would be better to focus on some of the things in the following thread, to make the spam less useful and harder to get started with.
