Thanks :D Hermit crabs is a "peaceful" topic, and we haven't had any troublemakers apart from robotic spammers so far.

Spamming robots do through the Internet for forums like these and register accounts that generate advertising posts. I have modified the code to mess up the bots themselves, and they will be blocked and receive an error message if they try to spam us.

I looked up for assistance on the official phpBB forums, and they've never let me down. Ever since making the small change of code, I don't think we've had a single "fake" spambot account (but real human spammers can still get past).

I have increased the avatar limit to 200 KB. I forgot to change it after upgrading this forum to phpBB 2.0.21.
