Too much Spam coming in

Hi there,

we are running VB 4.2 on http://www.animalforum.com/forum.php (we want to upgrade to VB 5 soon) and have some issues with spam, talking big amounts - mainly from vietnam as it seems...

We got one guy that needs like 30 minutes a day to clean up and our forum is by no means busy yet, we would love to cut the time down to a few minutes or less a day and have been trying a few things with little success...

Here is what we have done so far to keep the Spam off:

-Install GlowHost Spam-O-Matic plugin
-Setup questions at registration:
-What is the fourth word in this sentence?
-What is your favorite pet?

Do you guys have any tips for us to get rid of the spam issues? Website is hosted with URLJET.

Thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
