I've been having a similar problem with the Bosque for months now. Recently, I just started letting the spam accounts pile up--I've gotten 100 new users in the past 2 days. At least they can't post because I haven't activated their accounts.
Given that folks don't join the Bosque that often, I'm thinking of getting rid of the joining page, replacing it with an e-mail form request. But I have to figure out which page it is first.
