Dude if you use the right captcha they won't get past it. One of my boards is a pro wrestling board and it's pretty big and read by wrestlers and fans around the world. Captcha stopped all bots and spammers. Been doing so since April of 2004
I believe we tweaked the captcha one in that entire time. People just aren't gonna take the time to go after small phpbb boards once you put up a small defense.
Now if you were the Microsoft Forum or some other big target...you can bet they would fly right past captcha But my experience says "no" they won't for your small forum.
