Toolman,
Have you noticed the answer to your "Are you Human" question is always the number 10? Maybe its time to swap out the forum's anti spam filters....

Yeah I feel that if they are going to teach us math they should at least vary the question a bit. ;D

Oh yea easy for you guys who don't have to do the programming :-)
Actually, the test is for programs that generate the spam. If we start getting more spam, we'll ask a different question maybe ask for some quadratic equation solutions...
The most annoying thing is that 9 out of 10 times, i forget to put in the answer before hitting Post!

Ha! Toolman/Chuck, love ya but I've written far more 'evil' apps than TTB. I do feel your pain though! However, isn't this forum just a third party plugin, and if so, why not just grab a better anti-bot script, or a recaptcha plugin or something?
Yeah we know the test is for programs that generate spam. What I'm suggesting is give it varying answers, because it is always '10', and forum spam always gets through anyway (Latest posts as of this writing are 1. Carriers to be used on your Baby, 2. 20% off -Convert VOB video to MP4 for watching on Samsung Galaxy S3, 3. Galaxy S3 DVD - Convert DVD ISO/IFO videos to Samsung Galaxy S3 lol).
And yeah I used to forget to put the 10 all the time! I'd be like "WTF! TTB forums are broken!" then I'd be all "nvm derp"
