Boost forum security question

When registering a new forum account, the security question is too easy. Currently it stands at:
- Are you a real person?
- Yes
- No
Spambots go through that way too easy. Change it to something that requires minimal knowledge of the shard and needs to be typed, instead of having 2 options, i.e. What is the name of this shard? -Pangaea. Less spam on the forum = less work for the staff to clean up. Win-win.

I also approve of this change. I would make a pool of a couple to a few questions where it randomly selects one just for variety's sake.
When did Ultima Online launch? (YYYY)
1997 (This is something that can be easily checked via a google search)
Name of Shard?
Pangaea

I wonder why they all are british or from london... some kitchen service must have realy good spam bot.
And i agree with callum, some basic questions like that... perhaps even "what game is this forum for" and suchs simpleton questions...

Sounds like a fool proof idea. +1 from me. The idea of having various questions that change back and forth seems like the best idea. Avoiding yes or no questions is probably the key here.
