What is the forum all about? Answer is fishing.
Then the user needs to type in 'fishing' as the answer. this is a technique that confuses the auto 'bots' as they are not sophisticated eneogh to figure this out. Hopefully our fellow fishermen coming and registering to this site don't find this too confusing.
Any/all feedback with this approach would be appreciated. GOOD FISHING!
