Spammers out in force

Since Jan 1 2011 the forum spammers have been out in full force. They have been hitting my forum and others with a vengeance, I added a mod to mine to stop them or hopefully slow them down. Some of these are not spambots they are actual people in Russia that are being paid to add spam to forums. WordPress uses a spam service and mine has been stopping these registrations, like over 3,000 so far. Time to get prepared for a new round of fighting off spammers folks.
