> Very nice.  Just added Apple2Games.com :)  You have to let me know how your efforts go with combating spam bots.  I got overrun on Apple2Games (which also runs on MediaWiki) when I left it alone for a month or so.  Finally just turned off the registration.  Didn't matter if I had on a closed loop confirmation or not.  The bots had email accounts and were clicking the confirmation links seconds after creating the accounts. :|

I hate to hear that about the spambots. I did add a captcha test during registration, which I hope will help. I also added the SpamBlackList extension, but it wasn't letting anyone register. I couldn't even set up a test account from home, and then Antoine had problems, so I turned it off until I figure it out. It seems to think every domain is an open proxy or something.

I guess if I start having problems, I'll have to go to just setting up accounts on request. I hate to do that. I really like the wiki concept where anyone can contribute freely.
