Also, updating the forums didn't help stop the spam. So all we have is more spam, and less clarity of data.
If you want to stop spambots on a phpbb3 forum, your best option is to choose the new "Q&A captcha" option they added recently. Just give it a simple question, like "type eve-dev into this box" and anyone who wants a bot to sign up will have to manually plug that option into their bot. Unfortunately your theme likely doesn't support that option since it's so new, so you'd have to fix the template file (ucp_register.html afaik) to support it.
As a user, i'd have been happier if there was more documentation for the kb in the wiki, cause there's like no explanation anywhere that I could find of a lot of the options/features.
