Gau of course.. funny, fast, versatile, and unlimited. He by far was the star of my unoptimized team run saving their asses more than once with speedy Griffon heals.

The typical rule of thumb for the questions is to use a rotating list that is changed periodically with questions that are too vague or too specific for an engine to find the answer to. So, like for my site.. I ask "what is the main color of our logo?" or "What is the name of the third forum on this website?" etc and update them every few months or as I find bots getting through. It can be good to intentionally leave non-obvious typos in the questions. Quirky or clever questions can be programmed for as common answers like "Type {s} [backwards]" could be programmed to be parsed for key phrases and solved. I believe there is already a bot on the market that does that particular style of question. Captchas are definitely great it's just that they are heavily targeted by botting programs so they usually do not last long. The best bots that have bypassed them don't do the spam crap.. they datamine so you never even know there were here but that information then gets passed on to the script kiddies eventually.

Small tip from someone that's had a flood of spambots for years. Make sure your questions can't be pasted into Google for an answer. It's like the first thing the bots do to try to fill in fields. (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 spits out 32 on search first answer to first suggested search option)

Nice new site. Clean and easy to navigate. Oh and the distinct advantage of being able to register... always a plus. Thank you guys for trying to fix things however it goes.
