another site i use (ukhippy) has also been crashing recently due to spambots. here's what's on the top of the forum page, might help..

SPAM CONTROL

Due to an incredible amount of spam received recently we've decided to install some powerful anti-spam software on the forum. This checks new members against a database of commonly used spam phrases, IP addressess, emails and usernames.

While this stops the majority of spammers in their tracks, it can occasionally block legitimate users too. So, if you find your post placed into a moderation queue then please be patient, we will check it out before allowing it. If you're one of the few people who have your registration blocked, please tell us via the "contact us" form and we'll carry out the checks manually.
