Excellent suggestions, thanks for the feedback (kh99, sorry, it doesn't seem I can give you any more "Likes" at present).

If you search for and replace register.php in all files, templates, and phrases, I don't see why it wouldn't work (I've heard of it being done before).

Ah, but if the bot is following the link on your homepage, then changing all instances of register.php in all files, templates and phrases will point all new users to the new location of the registration page rather than sending them to the fake page which has instructions to the humans telling them where to proceed to complete their registration.

here's an idea: leave the original and change it so it does everything except the actual creation of the user.

What lines would you disable in the page to prevent actual creation of the user?
