    Domain servers in listed order:
    NS5.LUNARBREEZE.COM
    NS6.LUNARBREEZE.COM

    Domain going for 2 years, so they've been successfully spamming a while.

    LUNARBREEZE.COM doesn't load.

    Normally you go for the DMCA at host level.

    Now what?

    Automated BOT spamming a forum of mine.

    I want to get their site taken down.

          Do the bots have the same ip address? email the isp the bots are using.
          If you won't feel as good, I won't feel as cheap.

                      That's the problem, usually the ISP is DNS related. In this instance I don't know who the ISP is via a whois. How can you find out?

                          They have to manually signup, it's a custom forum based on YAF which is asp.net, a little unusual in itself.

                          I had our programmer try and put in place 20 posts before being allowed to post a URL but that failed obviously.

                              If it is a bot, you need to stop it at signup page. Going after one spammer won't stop other bots. I can recommed you to:

                              1. Put captcha on signup page with a random background image (distortions won't help much).
                              2. Put a question on signup page (that you can change anytime).
                              3. Randomize the table size on signup forms (highly efficient stealth from the bot)

                              I had the same problem with many bots, but after implementing these three precautions, no bots have managed to break through.

                                      Well, that depends on the IP. Go here:

                                      http://ws.arin.net/whois/whois

                                      If it says anything about RIPE, or APNIC, it's european, or asian. Otherwise, it's probably in the united states.
                                      If you won't feel as good, I won't feel as cheap.
