On my board, you have to press 1 before logging in. Amazingly, that stops a lot of the bots. Before I set it up this way, I had tons of people hitting the login screen and throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it, trying
to get in.

What gets me is, it's a totally open, free BBS, and I don't even 
ask for much as far as starting an account. Just a name (any name)
will do, and a password. 

.... I think I am, therefore, I am... I think.
