phpBB version out of date perhaps? or is it time to make membership have an approval step? that would stop it in its tracks.

Pretty sure the version of phpBB that's used here is waaaaaaasy out of date. Copyright at the bottom says 2007.

I've personally reported a good 10 or so spams in the last few days

Spam?

I was under the impression that new member, sharing the pharmacy link, actually felt we were "well educated in the topic of discussion"

stupid template skins :)

spam comments on blogs and message boards have been quite for a while but i've notice a big surge lately. even with the latest version of any open source, like phpbb, you will never be able to keep the spammers out without putting everything on complete lockdown.
