The Most Annoying Spam Form Yet - Fake Forum Registration

Someone’s been hitting the Garrick Van Buren .com Forums with a spam robot. The robot seems to be registering as a forum member with the spammer’s target url as the username and a fake email address.

I know this because the registration confirmation email bounces back with these crazy long member names like:

urlhttpthisisaveryinterestingsiteandborrowmoneynowinfourl

Not sure how to prevent this and it’s happening so infrequently I’m still slightly amused.
