Edit - I see you are, that's good IMO.
You can try editing you welcome phrase, currently-
Change up the wording, don't make the word register the link to register.php, find some other unique wording. Or get fancy- and say something like- "Click on the XXXXXXX icon to register" and add a few icon/pictures to the box with only one going to register.php. (My mod will take care of renaming register.php to your renamed value.)

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 ...

Thank you both for your replies. I didn't realize the spambots were so advanced :S I'll try switching these things up and see if that helps!
I'll try to avoid words like join, sign up, register, etc.
