  Old  Guestbook Spamming -- is annoying

I was skinning one of my sites tonight and while I was coding my guestbook page, I noticed I had a lot of signatures. All had comments like "Nice site! Great job!" and "Nice site! I've bookmarked it!" And following it would be a few links to their site.

Here's a paste of what's on the page:

I would remove the html function or homepage field then there is no point for them to spam.

I'm thinking the guys that are doing this have a script that they're running because I'm still getting those posts.

*sigh

I have just found an article about it over at SitePoint... Clicky haven't read it all but it seems pretty useful.

I have had a problem with one of the sites I'm running. http://www.computerstores.net.au/forums/ I am having ppl sign up with their sites. I was wondering if maybe I should delete the 'www' function in the register process. But I'm not sure if this will stop them posting or just keep them posting but without their sites listed...
