Indeed. Also, was the post limit for B/S/T removed recently? All that wedding dress crap was only posted in B/S/T from the spammer's first post on.

never been much of an SMF fan myself but is there any way to add a better captcha or challenge question to the registration process? Maybe that will curb the spam registrations.

Seriously, what's going on?

Maybe you should charge people a dollar to join, like KLOV.

KLOV charges people?  I never had to pay a buck for joining... 

Is this new?

Yeah, I think new members have to pay $2 via Paypal, or have an existing member vouch for them.

It was causing more headaches than it was helping. Spammers just spammed other forums, and there are some legit new users who just want to buy or sell something on topic.
