I assume the i3d team already know that phpbb allows you to force people to answer a (simple) question correctly before they can register. I used it for the forum section of the AGR home page, and the spam stopped dead.

I think we already do that. It doesn't stop the scumbags from manually signing up though. :cry: :x

Really!? Did you ask a customised question? Eg: "According to the Inside3D logo, what is knowledge?"
