HELP my forum is being overrun by spammers

I updated and installed the time delay plug in. I would like to not have to moderate every new member (I am getting 30 sign ups a day) but if I dont my message board gets flodded with ads for Viagra. Any suggestions? I am close to shutting it down as I cannot handle the constant stress and hassle these spammers are causing.
