As it had 173 installs and was vital to reduce spam for many forums, I'm sure many of you are wondering what is next. I was surprised a thread about this didn't already exist.

Since the original mod thread was closed (???) I thought this could be the place to discuss alternatives or how/when the mod might be patched.

MANY forums were using this mod to greatly reduce spam and have no viable alternative (captcha/nospam only works for bots -- much spam is now coming from humans in China/etc). Perhaps this could spur development of a new/better mod or someone to offer to patch it. I thought about writing something using a mod alongside project honeypot. Project Honeypot seems to be a lot more accurate for forum type spam -- though it isn't available without registration.
