It got rid of a ton of bots for me. It's simple and doesn't really have any negative side effects.

On the contrary, there are Modifications for FireFox that automatically fill in registration fields.
I've been blocked out of sites and forced to go through the process again manually a few times.

But I'm patient, my friend for example will just go "Screw it" and close the page, there you loose a Member.
While that hack might block 10 Bots for every 1 Member, there are still better alternatives.

As, I said in Chris11987's thread:

My site isn't what I'd call big, but it did decrease the amount of spam bots trying to get in when I started using it.

You could always try the NoSpam! hack, it seems to be good. I can't give you a personal opinion however as I haven't needed it.
