How to fix spam bots/threads, for anyone who cares.

[DCJodon]

Admin(s):
I took a look at the registration form, and noticed the most obvious problem. The forum is only using a simple Question/Answer prompt for human verification. Get rid of it, it's vulnerable, it's stupid. The answer to that question is stored in cleartext within the php, writing a program to crawl php for an answer string is easy.

Solution:
1. Update to Vbulletin 4.1.x, there are many holes in this vb distro.
2. Remove the Q/A prompt.
3. Install a capatcha api, preferably RECAPATCHA, which I've have great results with personally.

Done. Questions? Let me know.

Holy shit, we got taken over last night. Is there anyway we can delete the threads? I'd be willing to help for sure.
