Thumbs up Anti-Spam

The day after I officially opened my first forum I had about 8 emails from failed email validations. Not one that day or in the next couple of weeks turned out to be a valid user they were all marketing spam for cheap mortgages or online drug sales. I tried to install several programs to phpbb 2.0 and the first one that has made a real difference is called Anti Spam _ACP. Since its installation I haven't had any successful spam registrations. Just wanted to share in case anyone else is having similar problems.

I've used "NoSpam!" for vB:

Quote:
NoSpam! allows you to specify a set of questions which members are required to answer correctly at registration, eliminating the ability of spam bots to register at your forums and post unwanted messages.
It seems to work great as well.
