More difficult questions keeps the bots away, but if they're people, they can still register and spam. 90% are bots.
I went through and deleted a few accounts that were spammers.
I will be called
Bot-Hunter

I'm hoping the forums is finished tomorrow or the next day, then you (members) can invite who you want here! Few small things to do, then we're properly live.

Everything's good!!! Just wondering though, any site advertising happening? The flow of new members seems to have stopped after 1-2 days... Although I haven't been really watching
I have tightened up the questions that need to be answered when registering so only users that wish to register would know the answers too (simple steroid related questions), so bots/spammers cannot register.

The site should get a steady stream of traffic now... Which should mean new members
