Got about 40 of these emails this morning.

One question I have is why doesn't vb.org block known spammers at the htaccess level? On my site, I block ips from known spammers and IP ranges from countries known to be rife with illicit internet activity (granted the later option probably isn't viable here on vb.org).

As an example a couple months ago, I posted a link to a new test site here on vb.org because I had a question about something I was working on and within a day I had more than 10 new spammer accounts on the new forum...that was the only link I ever posted and ended up editing my post to remove the link the next day. I think vb.org is used a lot by spammers because it is a treasure trove of links to other forums.
