looks like they have become a victim of their own popularity, seems the site has been stopped by their host for excessive bandwidth use.<

now that is ironic. I almost wonder if the spammers hadn't set up some bot to run the snot out of their API.<

I hadn't thought of that, but I guess it is a possibility<

Hi all, new to the forum so be kind ;-)
I was wondering if there was a way of using the api @ http://www.stopforumspam.com/apis
to do an automatic check on someone attempting to register for my snitz forum and if so how?
I already use the following script:
if Request.Form("Email") = "" then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You Must give an e-mail address</li>"
end if
if (Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@gmailinator.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@dodgeit.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@spamgourmet.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@spamhole.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@jetable.org") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@bumpymail.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@mytrashmail.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@gmx.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@mymail-in.net") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@mail.ru") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@gmx.us") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@u-yep.com") > 0) then
Err_Msg = "<li>Registration with an e-mail address from that domain is not possible!</li>" & Err_Msg
end if
But as you can imagine, the list might get pretty full soon ;-)
My forum has been running for about a year now, but in the last month I have denied around 60 attempted registrations. <
