Hello,

So, in the past I've used phpBB software to make a forum. It had captcha protection and some kind of protections against spam and bots. Things were going well, and I even got a fan sign from Tiffany Preston and I got more than a dozen real members to sign up to the forum. I even got a sponsor to pay me $50 to advertise their program for a month in a header banner on my forum. Some hits were coming in from linked-in webmaster resource pages and even some quality SEO traffic.

Anyway, it all started to go wrong, because some bots started appearing on the forum. 10 or more bots (fake members) signed up to the forum every day. These fake bots posted 30 or more posts a day advertising viagra and penis pills and other spam. The captcha protection was not stopping them from signing up!

So, I need a forum software that has good protections against spam and bots, even if it's paid software. Please recommend a good forum software, if you know one. Lately, I have been thinking that there is much money in making online forums. Not to mention, we are talking on a forum right now.

Thank you,

Fatfoo
