Stopping the phpBB spambots—for now
The Lucire forum has been beset by spammers since its relaunch, and to think that all it takes to defeat the ’bots is an extra question in the registration process.

It’s apparently remarkably simple to stick in and the commenters at the below link have put in useful corrections.
