possible solution to the bot problem...

confirmation image when creating accounts.

I don't know for sure if there's a mod for phpBB 2.0.x or not, but I will post back after a look it up.

Sometimes when you cry... no one sees your tears.
Sometimes when you are worried... no one sees your pain.
Sometimes when you are happy... no one sees your smile.
But fart just one damn time ...

We're always being checked-out by registered Bots!! Google, Yahoo and all the rest.
Yesterday the Baidu Spider was in here.
Baidu is the Chinese Google. Strangely, the Chinese have many restrictions
in place for internet access in China, but they don't mind spidering for info themselves.
It's an odd www. world we live in!! :)

In here at the moment is - Majestic-12 [Bot]. Who are you? :)
