I suggest upgrading to IPB 2.3.6 as that latest version was released specifically to combat spam.

Yes it does, but not too much, you will have to pay 25$ to get access to technical support & upgrades & downloads.

the old system 2.3.5 get hacked so they made an upgrade to 2.3.6. its a little harder for regular members to get in especially if they are not too computer savey. I've had new members complian that it took them 4 or 5 tries to get confirmed.

@ TheOmen, they always can "refresh" or "generate" a new image with other code bit(s)

yes I tell them that but some don't know they can refresh it. I know the first few days many sites that upgraded noticed a big decline in new members
