I've ran a phpBB forum for quite a while and had some significant problems with spam bots using the default captcha during registration. Just a thought but you should use reCaptcha from personal experience.

I've had nothing but problems setting up recaptcha, not to mention the fact that there are services that offer solving recaptchas for next to nothing. Considering that, I'd say 3D captchas generated on the server (which can still be customized) are the best option at this point.

On some forums I saw a question in the registration... Like "What is 2+2" and it changes every time so the spam bot can eat the error messages :D .

yeah and then you get "what is int(1,6,(x*x+sqrt(1/(x*e^3))%(cos(7.98*pi))*dx) ?" and then only spam bots can register

At the time i think the counting thread applied most to the definition of spam thread.
