Working as intended, though there seems to be a lower influx of bots now that we don't use /path/register.php for registration.

Ok this thread needs a little explanation.

We have a thread that became a target for spam bots, so we use it to our advantage.

The thread is hidden from view, but the bots don't "know" that, so they continue to "post" to it.
This means any "users" posting to that thread can only be spambots and are banned.

Why particular threads become targets is a mystery but if we can then use the bots to our advantage who cares

Good thinking guys. Can we torture the bots once they're caught? Just for kicks.

Very few people have seen it an lived to tell the tale. But here is an artist's impression of Googlebot, glimpsed briefly as it was trawling a site.

And this is a version done by the folks at Erowid, during a late night "research" session.
