To those who are getting hit hard with spam.
Is your forum in it's own directory?

www.mywebsite.com/forum or in a subdomain, forum.mywebsite.com
The reason I ask, I have two boards. One gets no spam and the other is getting hammered.

it's own directory ([url]www.mywebsite.com/forum[/url])	66.67%	4 votes
subdomain (forum.mywebsite.com)	33.33%	2 votes

It should make zero difference. One is probably coincidently in some spammer's index where the other isn't.
