There are two things that first spring to mind:

o Update the forum, this hasn't been done in a while because it's quite some work to properly merge custom changed.

o Set some restrictions for new members such as inability to edit posts, larger delay between posts, etc. for new users (until they posted ~10 posts) -- This is what freebsd forums does for example, it doesn't stop spam, but it does make it harder for a single spambot to make 40 posts.

I don't have any time during the week, but I don't have any plans for the weekend .... Guess I just made some

I can relate to sending them to Guantanamo, but writing Visual Basic ... That just inhuman!
