I've written in my blog an explanation how to stop spam on phpbb forums, and there is a link

WOW whot a excellent idea putting a load of code into the forum files that by the looks of it you would have to change every week , and oh hang on there's no database queries. so how does this work there's is no proper coding and to be honest is very dangerous. I see that you wrote this on the Dec 21st, 2006, now if you had done your home work you would have known that the recent releases of phpBB 20 / 21 / 22 come with the Visual Confirmation. also the humanizer mod and the new Anti-bot Question mod had been released as well as Racefan20's website mod. these mods have all been tested and approved by phpBB.com.
These sort of so called quick fix answers are not the way to go, you would be well advised to rewrite that entry before you cause a security problem on someones forum.
