i've used it for over 1 year now, and had 10 spams
i only got those spams when the api went down on at stopforumspam.com
I read their forums and they suggested to change the API link in
functions_ghsom.php from stopforumspam.com to api.stopforumspam.com
as the old one is no longer being updated or not as up-to-date as
api.stopforumspam.com is update regularly

this is the actual post
