:::We have considered the whole new page thing, I told Briess to do it, I'm not sure if he actually set it up or not. Also, like he said above, only about 0.5% of the registration attempts have been successful. There've been around 17000 attempts, and around 100 have made it through. We're not going to do much better than that unfortunately. Hopefully they give up attacking us once they realize its not doing them any good.

::::Well, one problem is that they'll probably never realize it's not doing them any good, unless perhaps the whole system of theirs is undermined. My real point, though, was to focus on simple, unique ways of making the site different, rather than adding complex solutions like a new captcha module that a lot of sites might use. The more people that do that, the more work we create for the spambot's owner.

I hope you do not regard this as spam but I run a wiki at www dot livingcontrol dot com slash wiki and we have just seen an increase in spambot attacks. I hope you do not mind if I join in here to help find ways to defeat them.
