Hi,

Sorry if this is the wrong area to post this but I try anyway and perhaps someone could Point me in the right direction if its wrong.

I am running a very old forum with vbulletin 3.8.7 and becouse of spam bots coused by a unsafe registration my webhotell has closed my site.

The forum is very inactive but I want to keep it for sentimental reasons and some use it, I have lost my skills with vbulletin many years ago etc.

Could you direct me towards a plugin or similar that is safe,good and easy to install and get working so I could get going again?

It is difficult to find a free plugin that work perfectly for your forum, the better way is hiring a vB developer to build a plugin for your forum that integrates this

I'm using this ReCaptcha:

But for me, what's really killing the spam bots is this:

I replaced all the default images it comes with, with over 200 manually created images, matching my board's niche.

I noticed the registration attempts drastically dropped via the StopForumSpam logs. Because they couldn't defeat that verification page.

Not only did I add over 200 images though, I also made it so there's over 24+ options to choose from.

Quite difficult for someone who doesn't know the niche.
