Huge sudden increase in spammer/fake account registration?

My forum is: http://www.floridacarclub.com/forums.php

In the past 2 days I've had at least 100 new fake members...it's gotten so bad I had to change it to a moderation queue.

I haven't had this problem for 3 years, what could have caused this, and how can I fix it?

--------------------

Also - I'm running vBulletin 3.6.0 - is it worth it for me to upgrade to 3.8.0? My biggest worry is that I have some custom hacks installed and a custom skin...I'm afraid everything won't transfer over perfectly.
