I got a big increase about a month ago. Recaptcha has been cracked and is now useless. I added a question on registration and the problem went away. I ask them to tell me how many upper case letters are in the url in the logo. It requires a little bit of thought.

I am happy to have that option. But I am even happier with a layered security that this offers:
- ban fake email domains
- Bad behavior
- Project honeypot
- stopforumspam
- keyword or link sends post to moderation
- email verification before registration
- Registration time check and invisible fields to catch spam bots
Q&A does reduce the number of spammers. It doesnt stop them.I buy 420 forums
