Anyone else noticing an increase in submit form spambots? Once in a blue moon, I'd get a spambot result via a submit form I have for people interested in link exchanges. A few weeks ago, I noticed that I was getting more spammy form results from one or two IPs. Now I'm getting anywhere from 10-30 spam results a day, from different IPs. Were it not for the fact that some of the form results show 2 or 3 duplicate submissions within the same minute and I can easily delete those, its taking me a while to sift through the other results (which are 95% spam now). What has changed in the last few weeks that brought this on?

I'm seeing the same thing. For me it's been going on for a month or so. My contact form is sending me about 5 spam requests a day. It seems like, once a spam bot finds you they never leave!
