Does anybody know why renaming my register.php does not seem to have helped?

Rename your register.php to something else my my Man, signupatfp.php might still be a keyword (signup) that these spammers have their bots and script looking for when they hit websites.

Get as creative as possible and avoid synonyms of the word register ...maybe something like (cavewall.php) or (oaktreeranger.php)...give it something that they would have to really look for physically themselves. Just like a password, you should make it as hard as possible for them to guess your register.php's new name.

You might also what to change the phrase "Register" on any links that are on your home page, maybe something like (Begin Posting) for the register link ...
