	And now it is made. As for how that keeps bots out, well... that's beyond me.

Yeah, that is a funny side effect of the honeypot. The idea was to force them to post here first so they'd be easy to find and destroy, but very few spammers have ever posted here. My best guess is that the software is programmed to post anywhere but the first listed board. I certainly see them trying to post to other boards (in the error log).
