I'll leave it to AnthonyCrea to give you all the reasons to use BotScout. I think its enough that reCAPTCHA may be compromised and stopforumspam was unavailable for a period of time.
Instructions:
1. Get API key: http://www.botscout.com/getkey.htm
2. Download xFBotScout.php
3. Edit appropriate values:
5. From your ACP, create a new phrase called BotScout_Alert with whatever biatch slappin' text you want. No human being will ever see it. Mine is:
ALERT: SPAMbot Detection has been activated. User will not be registered.
