Thanks for the info--we are aware of the phpBB mods and have installed several over the years.
It's what I was trying to explain before though--it's a continuous process because the bots get better and the mods get better. And then it cycles again and again.
One mod that I haven't seen that would be effective is not allow first time posters to post a url. If someone wants to hunt around for that, that would be useful.
Anyway, we'll take a look at adding some new mods in the near future. It just kills us to spend time on this when I look at the cool *visuals-related* stuff we're working on...
