Banning the three main accounts that are creating the spam might be a good place to start?
Brantsem, GalenBida, RidgeOa

That's how you start. But only an admin or mod could do that.

What to do about the spam? Become a vegetarian.

By the way, they're still amongst us.

Usually once a year lots of sites get pummeled with lots of spam. It should settle down soon, unless they've changed tactics. And Mikey is a busy person beyond the forum. So if everybody can unwindulax, I'm sure it will be better shortly.

I see these spammers all the time at the forum I frequent. PHPBB's standard captcha is not good enough to keep them out.
