I can't think of anything that would stop them, but like MeEtc said, there are no other boards on the web using the msghelp codebase, so a bot might need specific instructions to target us, which would be a waste of time for the spammers.
If bots ever become a problem, I'll make some modifications to try and thwart them.

maybe we have anti-spambot ninjas who annihilate all spambots quickly and silently....
on a totally unrelated note, i like pizza.
