It's a Canterbury forum so I just used some simple Canterbury-related questions. I figure it should be easy enough to get the same for this forum - just some questions that any musically interested person can answer but which a bot can't. That security function is integrated in phpbb3 (free forum software) so I'm sure it can be added to vbulletin if the functionality is not already there. Perhaps even questions like "what is eleven plus six?" or "what are the 7 first letters of the alphabet?" would be good enough to keep bots from registering.
To add to this, anything that requires an answer / typing is better than nothing, correct me if i'm wrong but even a captcha at register would work well.
