I used to use Lunarpages as a host for a website I once created and ran, great to deal with...and not expensive.


I'm pretty sure we could all throw you a couple bux to help finance this....I for 1 would be willing.

I'm looking into a more sophisticated version that they can't get past, but in the meantime spam posts may linger for a few hours before I see them and delete them.

when you find something that works, lmk. I own a car enthusiast site and still have to ban about 5 bots a day. A no free email filter did in most of them. I'm lucky to have a IT professional as one of my oldest mods as a webmaster - he's a wizard with the keeping the BS down to a min.

Update:

It took me long enough, but I've installed a better version of the Captcha plugin (the thing that shows you a distorted picture of a text code and makes you enter it when you register), which hopefully will keep the spambots out of our hair.
