Note the format of the name - 5-8 alpha characters followed by 3-4 numeric characters. That is the trait with 90% of the bots/spammers.

3 nights in a row. Im down for a 1 time payment to put this behind a paywall. What would be the cost per user to go through the headache and monetary outlay to set that type of system up? $5.99/user? $19.99/user? Id probably go up to 20 bucks without even thinking about it.

Same. Read for free. Post for fee

I was thinking about it last night. The fee would stop the spammers, but I wonder what the sponsors pay for web traffic? If you have to pay for access, all the looky-loos and 1 time posters asking about units, wont come on the site. Web traffic would decrease, sponser pay would likely follow. The 1 time fee may need to be yearly to offset whatever is lost through advertising + site maintenance. Tough to predict how many subscribers Randy would have. Not sure if thats how it works... but had me up last night.
