I have had the attack as well. I just recently deleted most of the spam bots, however some keep cropping up. Things have definitely slowed down on the amount of spam I am getting.

Yes every day!
I have a new forum (only a few weeks old) and the only posts I have had so far are spammers.
It is so annoying, plus I have already taken every precaution available to stop spammers.

I have added .ru and .cn to the blacklist for emails. Most spammers are using russian or chinese email addresses.

Ban on sight and make it difficult for them to sign up.

I had the same problem. I did two things which stopped it completely. This works guys so give it a try.

1. Install the Stop the Registration Bots modification.
2. Create a hidden profile field during registration that forces people to answer it.

For #2 I created an anti-bot question and used a PCRE regular expression to force the answer to be an exact amount of characters. My question was a math question with a 3-digit answer. This is the PCRE I used: ^[0-9][0-9][0-9]$

I used to get anywhere from a few to 10 new bots registering daily. Once I did the above it stopped completely.
