That's mainly due to the version of phpBB you guys are on, and the fact that there's no graphic/visual confirmation when you sign up (at least that I can remember). That's easy pickins for those bots
I have a free forum site that, before they got the phpBB version updated and added the CAPTCHA, used to get a ton of spam/bot forum signups. It gets none now.
