It needs to be something that literally everyone can get, easily. Like "spell CAT backwards". Otherwise they'll fail and not join.

Dude, robots can spell CAT backwards.

The price of entry should be a ten second google.

Maybe something to do with the site, like:
What number comes after four?
How many fingers do you normally have on one hand, including the thumb?
What game size do we make?

I've added two questions which are either likely known or easy to find out. If it turns out it's totally stumping people I'll have a rethink, but so far the spammers are all like "WHAT THIS IS TOO COMPLEX I'M OUTTA HERE".

Uhm, filling in the blanks. Ben There, [WHAT] That and Time Gentlemen, [WHAT]? Essentially.

I liked that the answers formed "Dan please".

There should be a question before those two: Full [WHAT]

I was trying think of an adventure game with BUM in the title, but couldn't.

I think you've stumbled upon a untapped area of the adventure gaming genre. I'd tap that, if I were you.

I haven't. Smells like bullshit to me, but I could well be wrong.

I suppose if you change your password and don't go to their site, you're not running any risks whether it's real or not (unless they've infected you with a keystroke tracker and want to get hold of your new password, I suppose, but that seems rather far-fetched).

I had all those weird emails from apparently you a while ago.

They stopped when I removed the 'e-mail me' bit from my profile page. That info@k;m one looks like a random, not culled from the forum email.

THE EVENTS ARE PROBABLY UNRELATED.
