First off, thank you. Great Mod.

A couple of responses to previous comments as well as a few suggestions.

Regrading not StopFormSpam not having a complete list of SPAM IP/Email/Names, this is a moving target and a service is only as good as the data that feeds it and the sources that generate that data. It seems like the more of us that use this plug in (with our API keys enabled) the more we build up the StopForumSpam database.

Regarding usage when SFS is offline, perhaps caching a copy of the IP CSV locally (refreshing once an hour (or other configurable threshold)
