Completely Lost
Hi.
I'm not great with php. btw, I'm running phpbb2. But you have some software here on the main site that checks the ip/email/username on your database. I have no idea how to integrate this, and don't know where to start.
However, I have installed a tougher registration system that blocks bots from getting accounts. Yet spam IPs, like this one 194.8.75.50 (Google searching this brought me to Stop Forum Spam), keep hitting my server.
Is there any way, by way of php, I could consult your database for suspect IPs and turn them away? I know that would have to involve .htaccess firstly.
They really are doing relative damage to my bandwidth 
Thanks for your help. Sorry for being completely illiterate.

Re: Completely Lost
This is the easiest way - http://www.spambotsecurity.com/zbblock.php
If you want, I can give you one MOD who checked SFS DB and works in my board but you must edit /phpbb2/includes/usercp_register.php.
If you want, write here.
