Thanks for answering.

No, I haven't looked at the vb4 thread. I was just referring to the top of the present page, where you write, "In the future, I'd like to add some simple logging and statistics". I tried registering at my site a few days ago (before installing Spambot Stopper) and for some reason I never got a confirmation mail, even though hundreds of spam accounts were being created at the same time.

If Spambot Stopper had been installed I would of course have blamed it.

So it is possible?

That would be nice. We were hit by something like XRumer and several hundreds of accounts were added.

For years we have relied om questions/answers. When we were hit I switched to reCaptcha, which didn't slow them down in the slightest. Then I deleted the easiest questions (but not all) and added some new ones.

That solved the problem for now, but if Spambot Stopper could tell us which questions are being answered correctly -- before rejecting the bots -- we could stay one step ahead of the spammers.
