Need to install a modification that changes the BBS from normal to one that requires you to input a number or other thing that a spammer robot cannot do when registering. Right now the spam robots just interrogate the BBS and sign up as a member. They are not active but deleting each one takes up to a minute each and I have far too many other things to do on the board.

Its complicated enough that I would rather get someone who is really good with PHP to assist rather than just jumping in and mucking it up myself. Too many people now depend on the board so it has to work.

I am getting around 20 spammers registering every day now. It was not a big deal when we started this 3 years ago but with 700 users and over 10,000 posts now its becoming more of a hassle. Need to stop the spammers from registering so I have more time to worry with the bulletin board.
