In Response To: Re: Serious spam problem (The Sullen "D" Button)

: One way to do this is to password-protect your BBS. This can be done by
: placing the script files within a password-protected directory, and
: controlling access to that directory via any of the multitude of programs
: available for the purpose.

That actually doesn't sound like such a bad solution; it could be implemented just like those bot-foiling images. Have just a static main page which tells you that you must enter the words below (in a distorted image) as a username/password in order to access the forum, and a link to click to go into the password-protected section. Voila - instant bot foiling. Once you're inside the forum, we wouldn't even need registration or anything, since bots couldn't get it.

I'm gonna pass this idea along to Claude, it might be a whole lot easier than that whole upgrading-to-WebBBS-5 thing...
