I know for a fact they are, it's not a theory. I've been downloading and experimenting with several auto-spam programs and XRumer in particular is that way, but not just for vBulletin. For just about everything out there, it is programmed to "know" where the register form is, know what's required for the form, etc. It looks in the files for the version number, then goes from there.

This is a nice little speed bump for the auto-register software programmers to pull their hair out over, for awhile. And it will take them a long time to figure it out, since most of the autospam programs don't inform their owners of failed registrations, much less why the registration failed. This must be discovered manually. And with each installation of your Mod here allowing the installer to choose a unique name for the registration file? Makes it REALLY hard to automate a response!

I'd install this if I ran version 4. Nice job Joe! Simple and elegant, just the way I like anti-spam mods to be!
