Looks like the site is down.....

Yes... for me too.

I think that's temporarily

Oh of course... I assume that's the case.

Hi,

I'm thinking about installing this addon too. What happens in this case http://api.stopforumspam.org is down? Is the registration process on my site still working or is it reliant on the availability of the api?

Thanks for replies

There's an option "Query Connection Errors" with two settings: Allow registration and Block registration, I think this is what you need, but it's rare that the site is down.

Hi LukeNet,

thanks for that instant answer.

In my opinion this is a great plugin, it blocks (for my site) from about 60 to 100 spammers registration in a day, but remember, to prevent false positives, to disable "Test User name" and keep just "Test IP address" and "Test Email Address" enabled!

http://api.stopforumspam.org is not default for this script, you will need to update the string yourself
otherwise it points to http://stopforumspam.com which is their old API

Hey,

I already changed these options after reading your previous comments. =) But thanks for the advices though.
