All your forms are belong to bots, part deux, the sequel. Again.

Who’d have thunk it that a blog post concerning spam bots would be of interest in this day and age? After watching the search results pile up for a blog post that was intended to be a light touch upon a subject, I started feeling bad. Everyone kept showing up here looking for a magic bullet and I gave them a slingshot. Neigh, a plastic spork.
Well, this time, the spork is made of wood!
What? You were hoping for a silver bullet the second time around? Woops.
Let me just say this: As long as there are people with no morals and a lot of greed, you will have spam. The upside to this is that you can have a lot less spam than your neighbor.
How far you have to go depends on the popularity of your site and the type of form that you’re trying to protect.
