The Glowhost log shows that it's still stopping a bunch of them, but I'm wondering if maybe the stopforumspam site isn't updating as fast as it should perhaps? I'm just amazed at seeing the same IP address 10, 12, 16 times having gotten through, and those were many hours apart.

I have a tiny site. It's not like I am running some mega-board where one would expect to get clobbered every day with this stuff. I'm just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this of late, and any suggestions to help stop it, or at least slow it down.

Yea we got hit by a huge wave of spambot signups recently, glowhost spam-o-matic was pretty good up until that point.

Ended up going with the KeyCaptcha mod, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=257294
