    I've been noticing a lot of spam bots lately. Is there anything we can do to prevent them? I think it's funny they come here when we're not /that/ many, and I doubt anyone clicks them at all o.o

    We tried blocking their IP range however it seems they are still getting through. Gota be careful not to block any IP's within a range that other users here use :p

    I heard from somewhere that if we add a simple question to answer in the log in form, this would stop them.

    Not sure though. and yes, they are getting annoying.
