The humans seem to be connecting through a botnet, or a large open proxy directory. 125 IPs banned so far on the forum, for all the good that did. I suppose I could now clear the banlist, so that any future visitors happening to have those IPs are not turned away. For my personal blog, the Anti-spam plugin (with no additional configuration) seems to work fine for now, but it relies on its relative obscurity. No canned solution would be suitable for an active forum, it's too high-profile of a target.
Re: dsource.org moved
I think DSource should not be shut down, but instead modernised and open for new D-based projects. We, old D programmers, just love DSource! :)
Re: forum.dlang.org is now using DCaptcha
For an idea of what sort of questions DCaptcha asks, you can demo it on the following page, so you don't have to clutter the I think all code fragments should have just one exact answer (like number or single word) a any programmer without specific D knowledge should be able to answer them correctly.

Although opinions exist that the site should simply be shut down, I think archiving it would be a better approach. The website has historical relevance to the D community, and might be required to get ancient D code running again. For example, we could make things read-only and make it obvious on every project page that we don't go to DSource any more. I can't exactly undertake a large redesign, but we can discuss our options. Planet D (planet.dsource.org) is moved as well, and should continue to operate merrily. If your D blog's not there, let me know! My blog is not there, but it's not pure D blog: defenestrate.eu defenestrate.eu/rss.html Any way you can provide an RSS or ATOM feed for just the posts tagged D? Don't know any way other than maybe modifying the generator I'm using, but I don't have the time to do that in near future (I know little about how RSS works/web dev in general so I'd have to spend some time learning that too). I'm using a static site generator (Tinkerer) based on Sphinx/ReStructuredText (think Markdown on steroids), so the blog is actually a static site.

programmers of any language would recognize this.
2. int foo() { int x = 8; x++; x++; return x; }
I don't think non-programmers would guess ++ is increment, but

Enter DCaptcha, a question-answer challenge tailored for D programmers.
Its goals are to challenge posters of suspicious-looking content with
questions that should be easy to answer to D programmers, and impossible
for non-technical people with no incentive to learn or research stuff
(i.e. spammers). DCaptcha is already in use on the D wiki
(wiki.dlang.org), with great success - DCaptcha's debut cut the
short-lived explosion in wiki spam to zero.
For an idea of what sort of questions DCaptcha asks, you can demo it on
the following page, so you don't have to clutter the forum with test posts:
