These usernames and many similar ones have been trying to register in these forums recently, dozens of them per day. As they're very unlikely to be real, new user names, linked to "promotional" websites and had suspicious info in the registration forms (for example, *cheap Viagra!*), it was obvious that a new wave of spam registrations has hit our forum recently.

The anti-spam measures I programmed into the registration program a few months ago have obviously stopped working and it's another round in the never-ending war on spammers, hackers, worms, viruses and other Internet attacks that are part of life as a Site Administrator running an open and public forum like ours.

I'm already approving all new registrations manually, activating them only if I suspect them to be no spam. None of the attackers ever got a chance to post any spam in our forums and I've deleted all of them.

Our forums remain completely spam-free against all the odds, thanks to the daily vigilance of our moderators reading all posted messages, detecting potential spam or offensive messages usually within hours and then taking action. Most other forums suffer from infestations of spam and are often disabled or killed off by it, kind of like Mikania (Mile-a-minute weed) strangling and overwhelming some of Lamma's vegetation during these hot and wet days of rapid growth.

I need to program (PHP language) a new simple registration question that only a human interested in Lamma could answer, but not a spam robot program. The current question, "Which island is this forum about?", has worked for a surprisingly long time.

Any suggestions for a new, easy-enough Lamma-related question?
