After a long lull, the ColdFusion Meetup group is back in business. Last year Steven Erat (Adobe/Talking Tree) ran the group leading up to CFUnited and had weekly sessions with all the big shots in the community. Since last fall it had become somewhat dormant until last month when Charlie Arehart and Raymond Camden took it over and put it back in motion. The first Acrobat Connect session starts tonight at 5:00 CST. This will be a presentation by Jacob Munson on cfFormProtect which is a really great open source form spam killer. I recently contributed to this project by way of converting the core code to a CFC, and we then implemented it into InstantSpot. We went from hundreds of spam comment submissions per day down to just 2 or 3 across 400 sites! (The work I did is not in the current release but I believe will be released in the next version) One of the cool things about cfFormProtect is that it is transparent to your users rather than forcing them to enter some image text or something like with CAPTCHA.
