...could be a very good question that any potential user has to answer before they can complete their forum registration. Would probably stop most spammers who are just using scripts from even registering, let alone posting? And surely easy enough for even the newest fan to answer.
(Apparently, even some real-life humans don't know the answer! Shocking, I know...)
See thread below on forcing users to correctly answers questions on phpBB before being registered:

Just thought it might save you time having to ban spammers and trash their posts
For sure. On an old Cure forum we had a similar question to ask who the bass player was (bit less obvious than Smith) & it totally workedlazarus corporation wrote:Just thought it might save you time having to ban spammers and trash their posts

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

gah, that old chestnut
yeah that sort of questions would be great, if there were a phpbb2 version
this forum runs a customised version off phpbb2 and in order to upgrade it to phpbb3 there's a few things we'd lose. these include (but are not limited to):
- all the current themes
- image gallery integration
- everyone's birthday
upgrading would also add a slew of new features to the user control panels, some of which are nice but some of which (IMHO) overly complicate things
but it is creaking a little isn't it? an upgrade would probably be useful from a speed and security perspective![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/lolol.gif)
let me see what I can do over the summer.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
