Now i have a shoutbox thingie wich only holds as many posts as i tell it to, after that they get deleted..

I run my own Apache server, and it logs everything, and I thought about just blocking an IP address, but looking at the logs you can see that every guestbook post is made by a different IP address, so indeed, blocking the IP addresses wont work.

I also have a shoutbox on my website, and it works great, I have not ever had a problem with spam on that. The one I use is called ShoutPro 1.0, and uses php, do a google search, should be able to find it if you are interested. Fully customizable.

Also, imo, captcha or whatever is just a giant pain in the a$$ to myself and anyone who is trying to make an entry to my guestbook. Ive always hated them and personally would never implement one in one of my own websites lol.
