I'm not sure why but with the upgrade of my forum to 4.0 I have received TONS of spam. I'm talking about 10+ robot registrations per day with over 15+ spam threads per day, ranging in different categories and post styles, some the same, some different.

I have all users having to activate their account by email, type in the image verification, etc. and have the mod VBStopForumSpam which blocks the ip of known spammers through their system..

I don't know why I get so much spam robots and such but is there any way to stop it?
In 3.8.x I used to have mods to help this which worked such as advanced captcha, advanced image verification, etc. which none of seem to be alive for 4.0... any help?
