new security for forum registration..
 When people now register for an account, the 'captcha' (random letters you have to type to prove you're real) is now variable lenghts (anywhere between five and 10 charactors) , and contains more charactors to be randomized.
Second security feature is an instant check with an external database.
This checks checks the IP address, Email address, and ISP (even behind a proxy server), and if the person is a known spammer, spam-bot, or anything of the sort, they do not get access to this forum.

This should cut down on the recent spam most forums have been experiencing (which got worse with the poor economy).

unfortunatly, nothing is 100%, and spammers who manually sign up will be dealt with the old fashion way.
